The Doctor of Advanced Medicine (DAdvMed) is a three year, full-time professional doctorate program that allows Australian and overseas surgeons to advance their understanding in academic leadership. The program extends the depth of understanding in academic clinical leadership and develops the capability for graduates to make a substantial original contribution to the knowledge base in medicine. At all times, you are encouraged to consider significant and original adaptations to the application and interpretation of existing knowledge.

It is intended for doctors who wish to develop specific expertise in a medical sub-specialty as well as research and leadership capabilities. Applicants must have four years post-graduate experience, including evidence of a commitment to medical training.
