International Focus

As well as ensuring that our students receive a quality education informed by the best of evidence-based medicine, Sydney Medical School is also committed to ensuring that our students are globally aware, globally competent and globally competitive. The Office for Global Health assists Sydney Medical School and the other Faculties of Health with this task.
