Student life
The best of both worlds: Student life at UQ-Ochsner
Experience life as a medical student across two continents with the UQ-Ochsner Doctor of Medicine (MD) Program, where you’ll study in Brisbane, Australia, and complete your clinical training in New Orleans, USA.
From day one, you’ll join a close-knit community that supports you academically, socially, and professionally.
-
In Brisbane, connect with peers through the UQ Medical Society (UQMS).
-
In New Orleans, get involved with the Ochsner Medical Student Association (OMSA).
Together, these student groups organize events, mentorship programs, and social activities that make studying medicine abroad a life-changing adventure.
Our student support teams in both locations help make every transition seamless, from moving overseas to adjusting to clinical rotations.
At UQ-Ochsner, we believe in work-life balance and holistic learning. You’ll grow as a doctor not only in classrooms and hospital wards, but also through the global experiences that shape who you become.
