Medical internships for international students
Each year UQ welcomes more than 90 onshore international medical students to our program. These students bring new ideas, creativity and experiences to our classrooms both on campus and in hospitals.
A large number of our onshore international medical graduates choose to remain in Australia for their internship training. Over the last 7 years, 87% have continued their medical training in Australia.

The 10 Year Moratorium
Overseas trained doctors or foreign graduates of an accredited medical school must work in a priority area for at least 10 years to provide services covered by Medicare rebates. This is called the ’10-year moratorium’. You can reduce that time through scaling.
