About this workshop

Each year, around 460 new doctors graduate from UQ. Our world-class medical program is currently undergoing a major revision to ensure that future graduates are optimally prepared to serve their communities. This session will outline the major re-imagining of our medical program at UQ and focus on the six themes of the program which capture the breadth of attributes required by 21st-century doctors, including clear articulation of the values underpinning the program and the whole of person approach being taken.

Attendees are invited to participate in a facilitated conversation where they can comment, discuss, ask questions and give ideas for innovative public contributions to the new program.
