For Students Intending to Practice in the U.S.
 
The School of Medicine of The University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
and Ochsner Health Systems in New Orleans, Louisiana have created a medical
education program leading to the practice of medicine in the U.S..
www.mededpath.org. This unique collaboration was formed to broaden the scope
of academic medicine globally while helping to supplement the U.S. physician
shortage.
 
We attach a flyer. Please post for your students' information.
 
Students begin with 2 years of preclinical studies in Brisbane at UQ and
then, subject to AMC accreditation, complete their 2 years of clinical
studies in New Orleans. This is the only medical school program in which two
highly regarded international academic entities have joined to create a
single international medical school. It is an ideal option for U.S. students
wanting an extraordinary academic experience and a broader world
perspective.
 
To be considered applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents,
have achieved a minimum 3.0 GPA and a minimum 8/8/M/8 MCAT score. U.S.
student loans are available for eligible students. Upon satisfactory
completion, students are eligible for ECFMG certification, to take the
USMLEs, the NRMP match, and, subject to meeting other state and federal
criteria, eligible for licensure and to practice medicine in the U.S..
 
The University of Queensland is one of Australia's finest medical schools.
Founded in 1936, the School of Medicine is renowned globally as an
award-winning research institution of excellence and rigor.
 
The Ochsner Health System has a nationally recognized forward-looking
clinical delivery system, anticipating the medical needs of the future.
Ochsner is highly regarded for the quality of its patient care, clinical
services and as an independent Academic Medical Center. At Ochsner students
will have the distinct advantage of a well supervised and cohesive clinical
experience.
