The School of Medical Sciences (SOMS) encompasses seven multidisciplinary research themes that reflect the strength, diversity, and depth of our research. These include Biomedical Informatics and Digital Health, Chronic Diseases, Molecular Biomedicine, Infection, Immunity and Inflammation, Musculoskeletal Science, Neuroscience, and Education and Innovation.
Our themes signify areas of importance to our Indigenous communities and broader society, nationally and internationally, and reflect our partnership with stakeholders such as research institutes, local health district partners, granting bodies, government organisations, philanthropists and importantly students.
The School of Medical Sciences delivers teaching into a variety of programs, including Science, Medical Science, and several professional degrees like the Doctor of Medicine, Doctor of Dentistry, Physiotherapy, Diagnostic Radiography and Engineering. In 2021, we launched our first integrated school-wide Honours Program.
