Home > Data > Medical Schools Outcomes Database Reports

Each year, Medical Deans’ surveys final year students enrolled in our medical schools, asking about their background, medical school experience, and any early preferences for their future career.

The Reports examine trends across the most recent 5 years, and are a valuable and unique source of data for those involved in medical education and health workforce policy.

 

A similar project is conducted in Aotearoa New Zealand by the Universities of Auckland and Otago, with similar questions and with the support of the New Zealand Ministry of Health.

The Aotearoa New Zealand MSOD reports can be found here.

These Reports are prepared by Medical Deans with the support of the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).  

We acknowledge and appreciate the funding received from the Australian Government Department of Health that helps support this work, and thank the many thousands of medical students who have taken the time over the last decade to provide us with their feedback.

The survey captured key information about my recent medical education experience, relevant information about my personal demographics and education prior to medical school and helped me reflect on my preparedness for internship. I liked that it captured information about future career planning and can see how that could be useful to gauge competitiveness of individual specialties while also being useful for workforce planning and recruitment. I found the survey really easy to complete, and very worth the small investment of time it took to provide future graduates with information to help understand their fellow doctors and help plan individual career trajectories.
