Mental health services are found both in the Hospital and in the community. The Hospital has a modern, well equipped, busy Emergency department . There is a high degree of integration of the teaching faculty into the service delivery of the Hospital. Calvary Hospital provides excellent clinical learning opportunities in General Medicine and General Surgery with an integrated program that is highly rated by students. Close links have been forged with hospitals in surrounding rural New South Wales, most of whom have affiliated teaching hospital status with the University of Sydney.
Individual attention is available from mentors and teaching faculty.
Student satisfaction reports have been consistently high, particularly in Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Rehabilitation, Oncology, Medical Imaging, Surgery, General Medicine and Geriatric Medicine. The program is supported by excellent computer facilities with access to the Internet. Above all, Canberra, the national capital, a city of 310,000, is a delightful place in which to live. It is extremely well served for cultural and sporting events , both in the city itself and in the surrounding country where the snow fields and the south coast beaches of New South Wales are only two hours away. Housing and infrastructure are excellent and rent compares extremely favourably with Sydney.
