Course FAQ
Each 12 credit point unit (students choose two units from a choice of POM5101, POM5102, POM5103) is quite intensive and we suggest 20 to 24 hours per week of study commitment for each unit to view the lectures, complete the reading packages and dedication to research in answering the course work (essays, group discussions and short answer questions).

Yes, you do! The two units studied are eligible for credit towards your Masters’ degree. You will then need to complete 3 more units. These are either POM5101, POM5102, or POM5103 (depending on which unit you did not complete as part of the Graduate Certificate of Perioperative Medicine) in addition to both POM5105 and POM5106 capstone project units.
Once you have completed the Graduate Certificate, you are eligible to apply for the Master of Perioperative Medicine during the next open admission period. Your units studied in the Graduate Certificate will be credited towards the Master of Perioperative Medicine (subject to meeting the 7-year credit recency policy and unit content not changing significantly over this period).
You have 7 years from completing the Graduate Certificate to enrolling into the Master of Perioperative Medicine for successfully completed units to be credited to the Masters.

Admissions FAQ
Unfortunately, no. Due to unit scheduling and the short course duration, students can study either full-time (available semester 1 only) or part-time (available semester 1 and 2) at the time of applying.
Unfortunately, no. The academic entry requirement is a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Science (MBBS) or Doctor of Medicine (MD). You are welcome to apply when you meet this (and other) admission requirements.
Students need 2 years of clinical hospital medicine before being able to apply for the Graduate Certificate or Master of Perioperative Medicine. For example, if a student graduates from a MBBS in November 2020 they are eligible to apply from the 2023 calendar year onward if they have continued with postgraduate medical trainee and placements during those two years. As the Master of Perioperative Medicine program culminates in the student determining and submitting a capstone project, students need this experience to get the most out of the project.
Unfortunately, not. As part of the Admissions Policy you must provide a copy of your MBBS testamur and academic transcript (list of results).
