New rural medical students welcomed

Following strong national interest and a rigorous recruitment process, 15 regional and rural students have been selected to commence a unique end-to-end rural medical program designed to help solve Australia's rural doctor shortage.

This innovative new program will provide seven years of training, involving two universities – La Trobe University and the University of Melbourne - and three regional centres in Victoria.

Students who successfully complete a three-year undergraduate Bachelor of Biomedical Science (Medical) course at La Trobe's Bendigo or Albury-Wodonga campus will gain guaranteed entry into the University of Melbourne's Doctor of Medicine postgraduate program in Shepparton.
