Gippsland Medical School

A message for prospective students from Professor Chris Browne, Head

It is with great pleasure that I encourage all prospective students, who are considering an application to study graduate entry MBBS in 2009, to attend Gippsland Medical School on Saturday 31st May 2008 for an Information Day.

The Information Day will be held at the Gippsland Campus. Information on the application process and the course will be available. There will be opportunities for prospective students to meet staff and current students. Tours of the campus and the medical school will also be arranged. Details of travel assistance, via free buses from the Caulfield and Clayton campus will be available. Alternatively, the campus is an easy ~160km drive from Melbourne via the Monash freeway, the Princess highway/freeway, taking the exit that it signposted Monash University Churchill. Parking on the campus is free.

Gippsland Medical School is located on the Gippsland campus of Monash University, which is located at Churchill, close to Morwell and Traralgon. The Gippsland medical School is a key element of the Faculty of Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University. Monash has graduated medical students at Clayton since 1966 and has recently extended the scope of its MBBS degree by the opening of the Monash Malaysia Medical School at the new Sunway campus in KL and the start up of the Gippsland Medical School in 2008.

The Gippsland Medical School welcomes applications from graduates of all disciplines and from all universities. We are particularly committed to rural and regional health, and so we are especially keen to receive applications from potential students of rural and regional origin.
We have constructed state of the art teaching facilities here on the Churchill campus, which provide an excellent environment to support student learning. Our clinical skills facilities are particularly excellent. All of our students are provided with laptop computers with excellent learning software and the medical school has complete wireless network coverage.

The Gippsland community is also very interested and excited in your potential presence here. They wish to ensure that you enjoy all that Gippsland has to offer and that it will soon begin to feel like home.
For more information please contact gippslandmed@med.monash.edu.au or phone Lauren Snell on 03 99026445.
Best wishes and good luck to you all. I hope that you come and visit us at the Gippsland Medical School to learn more about what we have to offer.
