Our strategic vision for the future
The creation of a locally led medical program that draws upon the knowledge and experience of committed Northern Territorian experts and institutions is an exciting development.
It provides an opportunity for a timely and significant step-change in the delivery of medical education in the Territory to one that is locally designed, responsive and dedicated to meeting the complex health needs of the NT.
A locally led, governed, designed and delivered medical program for the NT
