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.
