Accredited by the Medical Board of Australia, graduates are eligible for provisional registration as medical practitioners. Graduates are guaranteed intern (junior doctor) positions in NSW and/ or Victoria and can apply for such positions throughout Australia. The first and second years of the program provide the foundations of knowledge and clinical practice for a medical vocation.
