Medical science is growing rapidly and innovations in research, technology and medicine contribute to the health and wellness of the population as life expectancy rises. Students will learn about the basis for human disease, its detection and the range of scientific endeavours to treat disease and improve health. As the complexity of healthcare increases there will be a greater need for medical science graduates to support the continuum of health service delivery from community-based projects to highly specialised laboratories.
This course information may be updated and amended immediately prior to semester. To ensure you have the correct outline, please check it again at the beginning of semester. In particular please check the course requirements and the unit and unit set offerings, as these differ according to course delivery location.
