The University of Sydney Northern Clinical School supports a wide range of teaching activities for students across northern Sydney.
We are headquartered at Royal North Shore Hospital with programs also taught at other teaching hospitals within our local health district, including Mater Hospital, Macquarie Hospital, Hornsby Hospital and Ryde Hospital.
We support medicine students undertaking our Doctor of Medicine program and well as practitioners completing postgraduate specialist training. We also assist in the training of nurses and allied health practitioners, in hospital and community settings.
Student placements are major components of most of our health courses and integral to gaining your professional accreditation. In most courses, course-required placements are embedded from the first year and increase as you progress in your degree.
Elective placements are also offered through our clinical schools to internal and external medical students in their final year of study who wish to expand their knowledge in a specialty area or across a variety of clinical settings.
Our researchers are dedicated to improving health through excellence in research, creating new knowledge and fostering innovation and research at the highest level.
