The Queensland government wants a med ed programme on the university’s patch

CQU is on track to get the medical school it wants, but it will have to share.

Yesterday’s Queensland state budget includes work continuing for a four-year post-graduate medical school programme. Partners are the regional Wide Bay (Bundaberg) and Central Queensland (Rockhampton) health and hospital services, University of Queensland and CQU, pretty much as expected, (CMM March 22).

But where will the 33 medical training places come from you ask? From the federal government keen to do well in Queensland, again, in the next election, CMM suggests.
