Northern Territory Clinical School
The Northern Territory Clinical School (NTCS) is part of Flinders University School of Medicine and is a leading provider of health education in the Northern Territory, Australia. The school provides training for Flinders University and James Cook University medical students. It also provides placement opportunities and support for Allied Health students and interstate medical students. We are based in Darwin, in the Top End of the Northern Territory.
The Northern Territory Rural Clinical School (NTRCS), with campuses in Alice Springs, Katherine and Nhulunbuy, is part of the NTCS. This new initiative commenced in 2005 and aims to give students the opportunity to undertake training in rural environments. The program also offers support to health professionals working in these remote teaching locations.
From 2008, Flinders University medical students based in Darwin will be able to experience a broader educational experience through the recently established Community Based Medical Education (CBME) program. Through this program, students are placed in non-hospital settings including general practices and Aboriginal Health Services.
The Northern Territory Clinical School prides itself on the quality of education provided to students and the support offered through the School to the medical and health workforce across the Northern Territory. Curriculum delivery is innovative using the latest technologies to ensure quality presentation in a variety of settings - from Flinders University in suburban Adelaide to Nhulunbuy, one of the most remote Clinical School campuses in Australia.
