Innovation isn't just what we do - it's who we are

Our Faculty is also well-known for its willingness to pioneer new methodologies, practices and techniques in both the teaching and research arenas:  

  • Our Medical Program offers the fastest pathway to gaining your Doctor of Medicine (MD) in Australasia; our students begin as undergraduates and complete their Bachelor of Medical Studies and Doctor of Medicine in just 4 years and 8 months. The Medical program was also the first in the country to introduce emotional intelligence testing as part of its student selection process.
  • We were the first University in Australia to offer a   Doctor of Physiotherapy program in 2007.
  • Our postgraduate Occupational Therapy and Nutrition and Dietetic Practice programs were the first in the southern hemisphere to be dual-accredited in both Australia and the United States.
  • Our pioneering educators have invented technologies, in use at Bond and other institutions, that allow students to explore the human body in 3D and augmented reality.
  • The Institute for Evidence-Based Healthcare developed an award-winning process that decreased the time to produce a systematic review from 45 weeks to just 2 weeks.

A learning experience like no other

All of the academics, researchers and support staff within our Faculty of Health Sciences & Medicine are dedicated to creating a valuable learning experience that will see students enter their industry of choice with the knowledge and skills necessary to hit the ground running, and succeed.  

Our academics have spent, and continue to spend, time in industry honing their craft, giving them a comprehensive understanding of how to teach high-level concepts. They also offer their students personalised support.

When it comes to specific programs, students will learn from these incredible minds in highly practical settings – something that’s key to becoming an industry-ready graduate. Many of the subjects within our health sciences and medicine degrees have a hands-on component that will see students learn in a simulated lab or hospital environment, often with ‘simulated’ patient actors. Then, depending on their study area of choice, students may also gain opportunities to put their skills to the test with real patients in clinic, hospital, community or private practice settings.

We also have a strong commitment to student wellbeing, with a team of multidisciplinary staff dedicated to ensuring students have access to services and are supported throughout their studies.
