Teaching and research in the field of Medicine.

The University of Queensland’s Discipline of Medicine was established in 1955 for:

  • The teaching of Internal Medicine to medical (ie MBBS) students
  • The pursuit of medical research

The Discipline’s Academic staff are involved in education, patient care, research, and community service. The Discipline of Medicine is spread over 5 campuses:
  • Royal Brisbane & Women’s Hospital
  • The Prince Charles Hospital
  • Mater Misericordiae Adult Hospital
  • Princess Alexandra Hospital
  • Greenslopes Private Hospital

Internal Medicine covers the various internal body systems, such as haematology, cardiology, endocrinology, geriatric medicine, gastroenterology, renal medicine, clinical pharmacology, respiratory medicine, general medicine, rheumatology, neurology, and immunology.

Research is conducted in clinical and laboratory settings over a diverse range of topics, reflecting the specialty teaching areas covered by the staff of the Discipline of Medicine. Because the clinical staff of the Discipline are involved with patient care in the Hospitals, this ensures that their laboratory-based research programs have clinical relevance. A small selection of our research fields is:
  • Immunology (including Neuroimmunology)
  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Neurological Disorders
  • Cancer Research
  • Endocrinology & Metabolic Research
  • Rehabilitation Medicine
  • Experimental Haematology
  • Pharmacology
  • Gastroenterology
  • Hepatology
