The Joint Medical Program® is delivered through a partnership between the University of Newcastle (UON) and University of New England (UNE) in collaboration with the Central Coast Local Health District and the Hunter New England Local Health District. UON and UNE work in partnership to deliver a world-class five year medical program.
A key goal of the program is to address the workforce shortage that exists in remote, rural, and regional communities. Some key strengths of this partnership include:
- A common purpose for program delivery among the four partners to graduate excellent medical practitioners; and
- the union of two universities with unique profiles and communities coming together to provide comprehensive exposure to a range of healthcare prevention, treatment, and management programs.
The partnership between UNE and UON enables students to learn across multiple settings in NSW with access to high quality education technology and student support expertise.
JMP students are taught through problem-based learning and early and broad clinical experience, to become health professionals of international standing.
