A close and friendly network exists between all the Northern Clinical School hospitals. There are basic and clinical research units in many specialties, including the Kolling Institute of Medical Research, which give graduate students opportunities to join postgraduate students actively involved in research projects. An education and research facility has recently been completed, which enables some of these units, currently spread throughout the hospital, to be brought together into one building. It also houses a medical library, tutorial rooms and student common room. Teaching The emphasis of the Northern Clinical School is on scientific and clinical medical research and on personalised patient care.
Teaching is student focussed and innovative.
Teachers at Northern Clinical School are highly committed and enthusiastic, and many have been actively involved in the Graduate Medical Program planning. The Douglas Computer Learning Room and the Toshiba Radiology Student Library were opened in 1995.
