UQ-Ochsner Orientation and Onboarding
This section contains complete details for UQ-Ochsner students transitioning to Year 3 at the Ochsner Clinical School.
NOTE: Students may experience difficulties accessing some of the websites needed to complete orientation and onboarding requirements, whilst still in Australia or outside the U.S. For many complex reasons, some sites are not always accessible everywhere in Australia. The sites are accessible on campus at St. Lucia and Herston, and anywhere in the CBD of Brisbane. Please also try using different internet browsers.

Blue Card expiry reminder
All UQ-Ochsner students are required to have a valid Blue Card for the duration of the MD program. Blue Cards are valid for three years, so Blue Card renewal is a requirement during Year 3, and before you return to Australia in Year 4. If any UQ-Ochsner student returns to Australia without a valid Blue Card, their placement cannot go ahead, and they must return to Ochsner Clinical School.
The Faculty of Medicine Student Administration team will send reminders throughout Year 3 to submit your renewal application. Instructions on Blue Card renewal can be found on the Compulsory program requirements page.
