The College of Medicine and Public Health deliver clinical, population and lab based research, integrated teaching programs and high quality clinical services.
Our teaching footprint reaches out from our world class teaching hospital at the Flinders Medical Centre in South Australia to multiple rural clinical locations all the way to Darwin in the Northern Territory.
We promote research in health services, systems improvements, public and population health, improved clinical care and laboratory and precision medicine.
This approach has seen us investigate everything from community health problems to the smallest of molecules that influence human disease.
Our research and teaching equips the next generation of leaders and innovators with the skill, commitment and vision to protect vulnerable communities and truly advance health outcomes. It’s at the heart of everything we do.
It’s about improving the health and wellbeing for everyone in society.
