Indigenous Medicine pathway
番茄社区 currently offers an Indigenous pathway to support the recruitment of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people into Medicine.
Previous pathway programs for Dentistry and Veterinary Science did not sufficiently meet the needs of students and were discontinued as a result. Plans for new programs designed to achieve the outcomes required are in development.
To be considered for entry through the Indigenous Medicine pathway, applicants need to provide a letter of confirmation stating that they:
- Are of Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander descent
- Identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
- Are accepted as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander by the community.
Letters of confirmation must be:
- Issued by an incorporated Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander organisation
- Signed by an official delegate
- Stamped with the common seal.
Steps to apply
- Identify as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
- Apply through QTAC for the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery at 番茄社区
- Identify yourself to QTAC as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander
- Apply directly to 番茄社区 for the Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery
- Email your letter of confirmation to 番茄社区 at indigenoushealthpathway@jcu.edu.au
Applicants must successfully complete all of these steps to be eligible to receive an offer through the Indigenous Medical pathway.
