Recognition

UOW's medical program is accredited by the Australian Medical Council (AMC), which means that graduates of the course are eligible for registration as a medical practitioner. Upon completion of the Doctor of Medicine degree, Australian graduates are required to complete an intern year in an Australian hospital as a prerequisite to full medical registration. These internships may not be available to graduates who are not Australian citizens. The UOW Doctor of Medicine is an internationally recognised medical degree and students may undertake postgraduate training in a number of countries outside of Australia, including Canada, USA, UK and New Zealand. Australian citizens who hold Commonwealth supported places in medical schools are guaranteed an internship upon graduation from a medical program within NSW. However, this guarantee does not extend to international students. Please visit the NSW Health Education and Training Institute (HETI) website for information on Internships in NSW: heti.nsw.gov.au
