With world-leading research institutes and centres, state-of-the-art facilities and partnerships with Australia’s finest healthcare organisations, we’re committed to driving innovation and education to improve patient outcomes across Australia. We have five schools, nine teaching hospitals and rural clinical campuses located across NSW.

The COVID-19 pandemic has reemphasised the critical importance of education, research and practice – coupled with international collaboration and human compassion. By working together, we can dramatically improve the health of our community and people around the world.

Welcome from the Dean

As the Dean of Â鶹Éçmadou Medicine & Health, I'm proud to lead a community that combines outstanding teaching and cutting-edge research to address major global health challenges. In 2020, we wrote the Health 25 strategy, with a strong focus on being progressive and addressing health disparities. Little did we know how profoundly the global pandemic would reshape our world and the way we consider and deliver health just three years later.

We’re now halfway through implementing our Health 25 Strategy, providing our students, staff, alumni, and partners with a comprehensive understanding of our restored identity and values. Our focus extends beyond direct healthcare, envisioning health as a broader ecosystem, from biomolecular sciences to AI and technology to new models of healthcare delivery. Embracing innovation is integral to our mission, not just in work and study processes but also in how we deliver healthcare.

We're transforming bright minds into career-ready clinicians, researchers, educators, and health professionals. For the fifth consecutive year, the Â鶹Éçmadou Medicine Undergraduate Program (BMed) has been acknowledged as the top preference program in the Universities Admission Centre (UAC). This achievement underscores the exceptional quality and appeal of our programs, consistently highlighting why Â鶹Éçmadou produces the most employable students. Our new health science courses are rapidly becoming amongst the most popular and the student experience is incredibly high. We are also in the process of developing new post-graduate programs and short courses to continue to illustrate our commitment to learning as a lifelong process.

We integrate principles of inclusivity and cultural understanding into everything we do, with a specific focus on ensuring equity. We are not only serving but embedding learning from the communities we work with, with a particular focus on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Our diverse community of exceptionally talented students, clinicians, educators,  researchers and professional staff coupled with the strength of our state-of-the-art research centres and institutes, translate discovery into therapies, technologies, and treatments to diagnose, treat and prevent disease in the most critical areas of health.

With a re-focused grasp on our goals, we’re excited to continue to provide the best possible experience for students and staff and maximise our positive impact on people’s lives to reshape health together.
