About Curriculum
In this section you will find various information and publications relating to curriculum from the commencement of the Medical School in 1883. Try your luck answering the questions from our early examination papers, or read the requirements from each of the University Calendars or Faculty of Medicine Handbooks.
We will also build a collection of Feat Furst, the student written publication issued to new medical students each year. If you were a student here and you have retained your copy of Feat Furst and would be happy to donate it to the Faculty for digitisation, please contact Dr Lise Mellor.

USydMP Curriculum Review
| In mid-2006, the Dean, Professor Bruce Robinson, initiated a review of the University of Sydney Medical Program, the Faculty's innovative educational flagship introduced a decade ago in 1997. The review has been undertaken by two very senior members of the Faculty, Emeritus Professor Kerry Goulston (formerly Head and Associate Dean of the Northern Clinical School) and Emeritus Professor Kim Oates (formerly Douglas Burrows Professor of Paediatrics and Chief Executive of the Children's Hospital at Westmead). Professors Goulston and Oates have consulted widely and received an enormous number of submissions. The Faculty has been delighted to have such an enthusiastic response to the Review from its own members, its students and members of the community.
The Review's report has recently been printed. If you would like your own printed copy, please contact Rebecca Rock via rrock@med.usyd.edu.au, or click on the following link to read or download an online version. |
