Course overview
Apply to Deakin's Doctor of Medicine if you want to make a real difference to human health and wellbeing. The course has a unique focus on rural and regional medicine, Indigenous health, patient-centred communication skills and service to marginalised communities.
You will develop the foundational skills essential for a career in medicine and be given the opportunity to experience healthcare in multiple specialist areas; setting you up for a range of rewarding careers, from general practice to pathology, paediatrics to surgery. With the emphasis on rural and regional medicine, this course aims to satisfy the critical shortage of doctors in regional areas; ensuring our graduates are highly employable.
Want a medical degree that enables you to enhance community health and wellbeing?
Deakin's Doctor of Medicine Program takes you beyond the classroom to work with patients and their families across western Victoria. You’ll learn how medicine is practised in regional and rural areas, while building valuable relationships with communities and clinical teams that genuinely value and welcome you once you graduate.
The course shines a light on Indigenous health as well as helping you broaden your perspective on clinical medicine to encompass public health, legal and ethical perspectives.
Be part of a community of learners and teachers who support each other as you grow your understanding and capabilities. Be confident in the support provided by the School of Medicine as you learn in an environment where a culture of diversity, inclusiveness, respect and social accountability is built, together.
Start your journey with the first two years focussing on the foundations of medicine, encompassing medical sciences, clinical capabilities, public health, medical ethics and law, and Indigenous health. You will learn to solve the kinds of problems you will face in your future career in a supportive environment, while developing your confidence in foundational clinical skills, clinical reasoning and the high-level human capabilities necessary for excellent person-centred care.
You will build on this strong foundation by acquiring real-world clinical experience through placements in a range of healthcare settings, from hospitals and general practices to community health centres. Students will spend their third and fourth years on full-time placement during the Professional Practice of Medicine phase of the course at one of our clinical schools: the Rural Community Clinical School, Ballarat, Warrnambool, Geelong or Eastern Health.
All of our clinical schools, in rural and metropolitan areas, offer access to experiential learning in the clinical environment and immersion in a wide range of patient care settings, including hospital and primary care. Our Rural Community Clinical School offers a more in-depth exposure to community-based care, with students being paired with a clinical mentor and afforded opportunities to contribute directly to the health and wellbeing of patients in rural area for an extended period during their training.
Across years three and four, you will gain hands-on experience, underpinned by essential knowledge and skills. You will undertake authentic clinical tasks to prepare you for both professional practice as a doctor and the lifelong training and development required for a career in medicine. You will also undertake a pre-internship rotation that offers a first-hand taste of the day-to-day life of a graduate doctor.
Our Doctor of Medicine program is committed to ensuring that applicants from all backgrounds who meet the requirements of entry are able to gain access to study with us. We therefore reserve up to seven domestic places for Indigenous Australian applicants applying through the Indigenous Entry Stream, and around 30 places for applicants applying through the Rural Training Stream. These streams are designed to remove some of the barriers to entry that Indigenous or rural applicants may experience when seeking out a career in medicine. Similarly, we offer bonuses for entry in the General Stream for applicants who have experienced financial disadvantage or come from a rural background.
We also recognise the wealth of experience that applicants with diverse study and work experiences bring into both the Doctor of Medicine program and their future professional practice. We therefore do not have any prerequisite training requirements; applicants may have completed a bachelors-level qualification in any area, from nursing to music, engineering to physiotherapy.
Situated within the Deakin School of Medicine, The Damion Drapac Centre for Equity in Health Education will produce highly skilled cohorts of vocational doctors equipped to meet the needs of the communities they will serve, in particular, rural, Indigenous, marginalised or under-served community groups.
The Damion Drapac Scholarship for Vocational Doctors supports students who are experiencing financial limitations due to personal barriers. This $15,000 per year scholarship is for students commencing the Doctor of Medicine who are from medically underserved populations and can demonstrate a genuine passion for community medicine.

Fees and scholarships
Fee information
The tuition fees you pay will depend on the units you choose, as each unit has its own cost. The 'Estimated tuition fee' is provided as a guide only and represents the typical first-year tuition fees for students enrolled in this course. The cost will vary depending on the units you choose, your study load, the time it takes to complete your course and any approved Recognition of prior learning you have.
Each unit you enrol in has a credit point value. The 'Estimated tuition fee' is calculated by adding together 8 credit points of a typical combination of units for this course. Eight credit points is used as it represents a typical full-time enrolment load for a year. You can find the credit point value of each unit under the Unit Description by searching for the unit in the handbook.
If you are an International student you need to be aware the Australian Government caps Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP) for the Doctor of Medicine. This means if you are enrolled in this course and transfer from a student visa or other temporary visa to a permanent visa, you are unlikely to receive a CSP place. You would however be eligible for a domestic full fee-paying place.
