In Australia, your dream of becoming a doctor can start much sooner!

OzTREKK represents 6 Australian medical schools that offer “direct entry” from high school. With a medical degree from Australia, you are able to have the option of either practicing as a doctor in Australia or returning to Canada.

In order to help you make an informed decision, we will be hosting a webinar exclusively for Vancouver OMS students to tell you more about your options of studying medicine in Australia.
