Medical schools in South Australia
South Australia hosts two medical schools, both based in Adelaide. The University of Adelaide runs an undergraduate 6-year MBBS selected on UCAT-ANZ, ATAR (~95.00) and MMI. Flinders University runs a graduate 4-year MD with one of the country's earliest and most distinctive problem-based-learning curricula — selection is GAMSAT plus MMI. Both schools offer strong rural-clinical-school placement programs across regional SA.
