Students

Epworth is the largest not-for-profit private hospital in Victoria, renowned for excellence in diagnosis, treatment, care and rehabilitation. Epworth is an innovator in Australia’s health system, embracing the latest in evidence-based medicine to pioneer treatments and services for patients. 

Our tutors are Senior Consultants with extensive experience in their specialised medical field, providing students the opportunity to learn from the experts. Students develop not only their knowledge, but the professionalism and skills required to be a successful medical practitioner by communicating effectively with peers, clinical staff and patients.

For each University cohort, we aim for a small number of students, enabling us to work closely with each individual. This model enables the Clinical School to build support for our students in every aspect of their placement.
