The School of Clinical Medicine (SCM) is the metropolitan-based clinical teaching unit of The ANU Medical School, with campuses at both The Canberra Hospital and Calvary Hospital.
With its foundations as a clinical school of the University of Sydney since 1994, the School of Clinical Medicine prides itself on the depth and breadth of student experience and the teaching program has a strong foundation of basic and clinical sciences.
The Canberra Hospital is a 500 bed hospital and is the principal hospital for Canberra and the surrounding region, serving a population of approximately 500,000. It has all major medical and surgical specialties, with a busy obstetrics and gynaecology service, neonatal intensive care and the largest paediatric service outside a major metropolitan paediatric hospital. Mental health services are found both in the hospital and in the community. The hospital has a modern, well-equipped, busy Emergency Department.
The clinical services are underpinned by state of the art pathology, imaging and library services. There is a high degree of integration of the teaching faculty into the service delivery of the hospital.
Calvary Hospital comprises a 159 bed public hospital with a co-located 109 bed private hospital, and provides excellent clinical learning opportunities in general medicine and general surgery, as well as obstetrics and gynaecology and acute care. |
