The university announces an extension of allied health placements in the Northern Territory, to encourage NT students to return there after graduation

Flinders U has long taught health and medicine in the NT, with 150 medical graduates over the last decade and 92 per cent of students from the NT. Over 60 per cent of grads take up junior doctor positions in the Territory.

The new federally funded allied health placements programme, “is a testament to Flinders’ long-standing commitment to serving the Territory,” the university states.

And it undoubtedly has nothing to do with Charles Darwin U’s plan for its own medical school.
