Medical schools in Western Australia
WA's three medical schools cover every major Australian pathway. UWA offers a dual route — a Direct Pathway from school leaver (UCAT-ANZ + ATAR ~96 + MMI) into a combined Bachelor+MD, and a 4-year graduate MD (GAMSAT). Curtin runs an undergraduate 5-year MD selected on UCAT-ANZ, ATAR (~95.40) and CASPer plus MMI. Notre Dame Fremantle's graduate MD uses GAMSAT plus a portfolio-led structured panel, under a Catholic ethos and a strong rural-clinical mission across the Kimberley and Pilbara.
