commute (1 Viewer)

WSU med is a more convenient commute than UNSW for anyone living in the west or southwest and it is also one year less of study. The commute probably isn’t as bad with the other degrees which allow arranging contact hours to fit into a maximum of three days on campus, but the degrees you listed don’t provide that flexibility.

because WSU med is only 1 degree, do you know if this will heavily impact hospitals' preference for medical student graduates?

MBBS (bachelor of medicine & bachelor of surgery) is in essence a double degree in one course. No, I don’t think this would significantly impact on the medical graduate‘s intern placement or subsequent prospects of getting into a specialist training program.

As some general info, when giving out internships to graduated medical students, hospitals consider MD (Doctor of Medicine) and MBBS (Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery) as the same; the only preferencing they do is by what state you are from (so for e.g someone who studied at WSU will be higher in the list then someone who studied in Brisbane, for internships given in NSW)
