The School of Medicine and Psychology
Our life experiences are defined by the capabilities and potential of our mind and body. Appreciating their interdependence and inter-relationship is essential to understanding and improving human health.
At the School of Medicine and Psychology, we are dissolving boundaries and enabling new health solutions through interdisciplinary research, education and practice.
Our integrated perspectives, knowledge and techniques, are preparing doctors, psychologists and health care leaders of the future who will work in partnership with their patients and colleagues to provide optimal care for individuals while strengthening the health system and society they work in.
Our partnerships with discovery and population researchers, government, diverse organisations and communities are enabling courageous research that challenges assumptions, transcends boundaries, informs healthcare and transforms human lives.
The School of Medicine and Psychology formed in 2023. While the website is under development, we invite you to read more about our medicine and psychology programs.
