Department of Rural Clinical Sciences
We are making rural health matter in biomedical science, pharmacy, dentistry and oral health.
We educate students in a range of clinical and scientific approaches, then give them professional workplace experiences that provide them with the opportunity to immerse themselves in the existing rural workforce.
Our Department is part of the La Trobe Rural Health School.
Huge investment
We invested more than $500 million in state-of-the-art science learning and research facilities.
Largest rural health school in Australia
More than 90% of our students are from a rural origin, which translates to more health professionals living and working in rural and regional communities.
Real work settings
Learn in Victoria’s leading hospitals through our on-site clinical schools and work placements.
