Tasmanian School of Medicine

Welcome to the Tasmanian School of Medicine

Our programs and clinical schools

The Tasmanian School of Medicine covers a range of teaching and research in diverse areas, from clinical training through to changing our understanding of the human body and driving change in healthcare systems. Explore our areas of expertise below.

Partnerships

The Tasmanian School of Medicine has local, national and global partnerships and projects with other universities, medical research institutes, public and private health and hospital providers, foundations and government and non-government organisations.

Research

Our research will improve the health of Tasmanians and make a global impact on human health and medicine.

Our research ranges from advancing understanding of human health at a molecular scale through to studies that focus on improving the health of whole communities and populations.

We perform essential discovery and translational research to improve the health of Tasmanians and to tackle diseases of global significance.

This includes cutting-edge research in our laboratories to understand issues such as the molecular underpinnings of development, the epigenetics of cancer, cellular level studies of respiratory health throughout the human lifespan and developing new molecular tools to probe brain function.

Our clinical, population and public health research directly impacts Tasmanians while uncovering critical insights of national and international significance. Our researchers also work with communities to improve health literacy and boost health professional education.
