Academic guidance
A 'stepped-care approach' is taken to the provision of academic guidance in the Doctor of Medicine (MD) program. Course Coordinators are your first point of contact if you have queries regarding course content, learning activities and assessment, including questions about results and feedback.
In addition to your Course Coordinators and other educators, the Medical School provides access to specialised academic advice. Where appropriate, you may be referred to other staff or you will be supported to develop a learning plan to aid your studies. The specialised academic advice may also include the provision of guidance to educators and support teams to ensure a stepped-care approach is taken that maximises the support you receive.
Throughout your studies, you are encouraged to contact the below dedicated staff/teams for specialised academic support.
