Living and working in every corner of the globe, they are now heading up major corporations, helping disadvantaged communities in developing countries, researching medical breakthroughs, engineering cutting-edge technologies.

As a graduate of Bond University, you will be joining their elite ranks.

I very much look forward to sharing the journey as you bring your ambition to life.

Professor Tim BrailsfordVice-Chancellor and President

WelcomeRight now, no matter what you’re doing – working on

a big job, a small job or trying to find a job – this is the

most you’ve ever thought, worked or questioned what

life is all about, and you’re not the only one.

There’s seven billion different ‘nows’ happening in the

world. With so much going on, why wouldn’t you learn

from it?

At Bond University we prize current knowledge from

innovators. We value experience in the world right

now. We make each moment count with small class

sizes, personal attention and accelerated degrees.

Because there’s no moment like this moment.

Bond University.

The university of now.

Bachelor of Medicine / Bachelor of Surgery

“Through the help of the Student Opportunity Fund I was able to attend a clinical placement with the Royal Flying Doctors Service (RFDS) based in Charleville. From this placement I learnt what it was like to work as a cohesive team in the most unusual of settings and was able to help with some medical procedures that I would never have encountered in a mainsteam tertiary hospital placement.”

Scott CorfieldAfter originally pursuing a career in journalism, I decided to chase my passion and enter the film and television sector. Having left university with a degree in film and tv production, I diversified my skillset by moving to New York to study acting at The Lee Strasberg Theatre. I decided to enrol in postgraduate studies at Bond University after realising I lacked a detailed understanding of the business operations behind the industry. I graduated from Bond University’s MBA program in 2002 before starting a film and media production company specialising in TV commercials, music videos and feature films. My next big project will be released in 2017 – a feature film called ‘Don’t Tell’.

WHY BOND• The accelerated nature of the degree• The Gold Coast lifestyle• The great facilities on campus• Versatility of the MBA meant you could apply

what you learn to any industry

CAREER HIGHLIGHT Producing my first feature film ‘Crooked Business’ in 2006.

AVERAGE DAY ON THE JOB• Working with scriptwriters, actors, directors and

crew on set• Arranging finance and distribution deals for

projects• Managing the production budget

UNIVERSITY HIGHLIGHTThe Bond staff were always helpful and with smaller class sizes than most universities it allowed for more discussion in lectures and tutorials, which I found helpful as I came from an arts background instead of a business background.

PROGRAM STRUCTURECore Subjects (14)• EMBA Orientation• Creating and Growing a Business• Cross Cultural Management• Financial Accounting and Analysis• Global Business• Leadership Skill Development• Major Application Project• Managing Resources• Market Orientated Decision Making• Markets and Organisations• Self Insights, Teamwork and Strategic Thinking• Strategic People Management

MEDICAL PROGRAM^

BACHELOR OF MEDICAL STUDIES (BMEDST)CRICOS: 087932C

Duration: 2 years 8 months (8 semesters)

DOCTOR OF MEDICINE (MD)CRICOS : 087933B

Duration: 2 years (6 semesters)

Duration: 4 years and 8 months full time (3 semesters per year) (14 semesters total)

Starting: May

ACADEMIC ENTRY REQUIREMENTSThe Medical Program^ is comprised of two sequential degrees – the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD). All students selected for entry into the Medical Program^ will have to complete both the BMedSt and MD. Both degrees are awarded at the completion of Year 5.

The Medical Program^ commences with the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) which is an undergraduate program and so is open to Year 12 school leavers. The BMedSt is also open to students who have completed an undergraduate program.

Enrolments in the program are strictly limited to ensure small class sizes and sufficient clinical placements. As such, entry is extremely competitive.

Postgraduate applicants will be evaluated based on the following criteria:1. GPA from a previous university degree completedwithin the last nine years.2. Year 12 English and one of Chemistry or Maths B or Physics or an equivalent. Applicants who do not meet these requirements must complete an approved bridging course before their application can be considered.3. Structured interview ranking.

DESCRIPTIONThe Medical Program^ is comprised of two sequential degrees – the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD). All students selected for entry into the Medical Program^ will have to complete both the BMedSt and MD to be eligible for registration as a medical practitioner in any state or territory in Australia or New Zealand. Both degrees are awarded at the completion of Year 5.

The Medical Program^ is designed to equip graduates with the knowledge, skills and attributes that a doctor requires to safely and effectively practice medicine in today’s complex healthcare environment.

The Medical Program^ is distinguished by its strong educational focus on case-based learning, evidence based medicine and integrated clinical practice. Due to small class sizes, students learn in a highly personalised environment with state-of-the-art equipment.

Students benefit from a variety of teaching and learning systems, including case-based small group tutorials, problem-based learning, practical classes, clinical skills and laboratory training, self-directed learning, web-based and e-learning, interactive seminars and lectures. This contemporary approach to medical education ensures that learning relates directly to patient care and prepares graduates to assume a high level of responsibility.

The Medical Program^ is comprised of 14 semesters total over the two sequential degrees, or equivalent to 7 standard academic years in duration. However, with Bond’s three semesters-per-year timetable and intensive clinical training periods, the Medical Program^ is completed in just 4 years and 8 months, with graduates then eligible to apply for hospital internships.

PROGRAM STRUCTUREBACHELOR 0F MEDICAL STUDIESYEARS 1 – 3 “THE PRE-CLINICAL YEARS”In the first two years (5 semesters) in the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) learning and teaching occurs mainly in small group sessions comprised of interactive cases through problem-based learning, as well as clinical skills laboratories, simulation activities, community and clinical placements and a cultural immersion experience.

The program extensively uses a problem-based learning (PBL) approach, where each week introduces a clinical case around which the learning is integrated.

In the third year, students are located at the University Clinical Education and Research Centre at Robina Hospital. This enables students to have a full additional year immersed in the clinical environment and acts as an excellent transition from the campus based learning to the full immersion in the workplace in the MD component of the Medical Program^.

Year 12 semestersYear 1 commences with the molecular and cellular foundations of life and then guides learning through the first cycle of the body systems, arranged in generations.This cycle focuses on:• Introducing the structure and function of discrete

organs• Psychological basis of normal human behaviour• Sociological basis of the behaviours of populations

The foundations of an effective practitioner are explored through an introduction to conducting effective observations of people both healthy and ill. This involves the beginning of the development of the understanding of and the skills involved in effective interpersonal communication, group work and collaborative learning.

Collectively, integrated learning opportunities provide the foundations of:• Awareness of the roles of the doctor and healthcare

system• The impact of illness on the patient, their family

and society• The ethical basis of patient-centred health careYear 1 also includes an Indigenous focus, with a cultural immersion experience occurring in Semester 2 as part of Bond’s innovative Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Health curriculum.

Year 23 semestersYear 2 is framed around a second cycle through the body systems and focuses on:

• Relationships between structure and function, building complexity into an integrative systems focus

• Mechanisms of disease and infectious organisms• Normal compensatory mechanisms for restoring

normal function

Knowledge of psychosocial frameworks is deepened and broadened to explore the varied responses of individuals, groups, populations and cultures to disease as well as the exploration of psychosocial factors that contribute to disease and impact on patient healthcare, highlighting the complexities of health inequities. The foundation knowledge and skills of a competent practitioner continue with a focus on history taking and physical examination of discrete systems. The ethical complexities of health care are then further explored inclusive of the legal framework for provision of health care and placements in health care settings will provide the context for introducing healthcare systems.

Year 33 semestersIn Year 3, the format of learning changes from facilitator guided, problem-based learning to clinician lead, case-based learning. Bond has developed the Bond Virtual Hospital © which is a virtual clinical learning environment where students work in small groups to diagnose and manage a range of clinical cases. At both the University campus and the Clinical Education and Research Centre, Bond has an accredited, advanced simulation facility that provides an authentic context to the procedural and clinical skills that students acquire in preparation for their clinical work in the final two years of the program.

^The Medical Program is comprised of two sequential degrees – the Bachelor of Medical Studies (BMedSt) and the Doctor of Medicine (MD). All students selected for entry into the Medical Program will have to complete both the BMedSt and MD to be eligible for registration as a Medical practitioner in any state or territory in Australia or New Zealand. Both degrees are awarded at the completion of Year 5.

Molly WarnerAs part of her postgraduate studies at Bond University, Molly Warner travelled to the Solomon Islands to undertake a community and public health nutrition placement for two weeks. Based in a small village called Kirakira, Molly participated in projects based in the village’s local school, hospital and health promotions office, where she gained invaluable experience working with the nutrition issues and challenges faced in clinical, food service and public health settings of a developing country.

“I always knew studying nutrition and dietetics would open many windows of opportunity, but it didn’t cross my mind that I would be barefoot in a tropical hospital presenting to Solomon Islanders about ‘eating for tuberculosis’. Although there were many things we could help the Islanders with, I particularly noticed how they could help me – I noticed their beautiful sense of community and the simplicity of their lifestyle, which I think we have plenty to learn from.”
