NEW ORLEANS - The University of Queensland and Ochsner Health have extended a unique partnership pledging to grow the world’s physician pipeline in a joint transnational Doctor of Medicine program through 2030.
Officials from the organizations signed a contract Sept. 11 renewing the joint venture, the University of Queensland Ochsner Doctor of Medicine program.
The UQ-Ochsner MD program welcomed its first class in 2009 and continues to educate medical students across two continents.
Students spend their first two years at UQ’s Brisbane, Australia campus, before completing two years of clinical immersion in Ochsner’s facilities here.
Upon completion of the MD, graduates are qualified to enter U.S. residency and Australian internships. The collaboration allows students to broaden medical training and experience of educational opportunities offered by both.
UQ-Ochsner has graduated 856 medical students since 2009 with approximately 30% remaining in Louisiana. The UQ-Ochsner MD program averages an impressive 95% match rate through the National Residency Match Program. The UQ-Ochsner MD program also has national impact, as graduating physicians are practicing in 46 states and 24 specialties.
