At the time of application, you provided a preliminary indication of your selected place type, campus type and medical education track for the UOW MD program in your GEMSAS application. All applicants are required to submit this to form direct to UOW to confirm your nominations. You may also submit this form more than once if you wish to change your choices during the admissions cycle.

Please note completion of this form will automatically override any previous campus/place type/track nominations you have provided in your application. 

Campus, place type, and Med Ed track nomination forms will be accepted until 4:00 PM AEST 1st October 2025

The UOW Doctor of Medicine is a distributed program. All students enrolled in the UOW MD are required to undertake clinical placements in regional and rural/remote communities across NSW in order to meet the requirements of the program. The majority of UOW medical students will undertake a significant proportion of their program in a rural site, either in Phase 1 or later for clinical placements, regardless of their medical education track or Phase 1 campus allocation.  

If you have any questions about place types, education tracks, and campuses, please check the UOW Doctor of Medicine website for more information, or contact the MD Admissions team on md-enquiries@uow.edu.au
UOW MD Program – medical education tracks and place types


The UOW MD Program offers places in two medical education tracks:

  • Rural Regional Combined Medical Education Track
  • Rural End-to-End Medical Education Track


UOW MD Program - Rural Regional Combined Medical Education Track  

UOW offers Commonwealth Supported Places (BMP and CSP) under the Rural-Regional Combined Medical Education Track.
Students in the Rural-Regional Combined Medical Education Track will be based at UOW Wollongong campus or UOW Shoalhaven campus for Phase 1 (first 18 months) of the program.

After Phase 1, students will then be allocated by the GSM to placements within NSW. Placements will be in regional, rural, and remote areas within NSW where the GSM has a clinical education/training site. 


UOW MD Program – Rural End-to-End Medical Education track
UOW also offers Commonwealth Supported Places (CSP-E2E) under the Rural End to End Medical Education Track.
Students in the Rural End-to-End Medical Education Track will be based at UOW Shoalhaven campus or UOW Southern Highlands campus for Phase 1 (first 18 months) of the program. After Phase 1, students will then be allocated by the GSM to placements within NSW. Placements will be in regional, rural, and remote areas within NSW where the GSM has a clinical education/training site.

Students in the Rural End-to-End track must reside and study in a rural NSW location, as determined by the medical school, for the entire four-year program.

To support their rural transition, students in this track receive:

  • Priority access to GSM accommodation during Year 1 in Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands.
  • Priority allocation for Phase 3 longitudinal placements to remain at their Base Campus, where possible.


For more details on the differences between these tracks, please visit the Doctor of Medicine admissions website or attend one of our admissions webinars.

Place type selection

 Applicants must nominate if they will accept any of the following place types. 

Note: If you select "NO" for any place type, and that is the only place available, you will not be made an offer from UOW. Applicants who are limited in their ability to study at all campuses, tracks or place types will be ultimately less likely to be successful in gaining an offer.
CSP - Commonwealth Supported (unbonded) Place 
BMP - Commonwealth Supported - Bonded Medical Program Place 
CSPE2E- Commonwealth Supported - Rural End to End Medical Place

All applicants who have indicated their willingness to accept a CSP or BMP place above will be considered for the Rural Regional Combined Medical Education Track. Applicants who have indicated their willingness to accept a CSP-E2E place above will also be considered for the Rural End-to-End Medical Education Track.


The Rural End-to-End Medical Education Track offers a uniquely supported, immersive rural experience for medical students. Please indicate below if the Rural End-to-End Medical Education Track is your PREFERRED track within the UOW MD program:

Campuses
 

The MD program at the University of Wollongong is delivered across three campuses during Phase 1 (the first 18 months of the program): Wollongong, Shoalhaven (Nowra), and Southern Highlands (Moss Vale). The majority of domestic student places are located at the rural campuses (Shoalhaven and Southern Highlands).

 

Most classes will occur at a students' Base campus.  However, students at all campuses must be prepared to travel to other campuses weekly (1-2 days per week) for compulsory educational activities and clinical placements during Phase 1. After Phase 1, all students will undertake clinical placements at UOW clinical teaching hubs across NSW.

 

Campus Preferences

Please indicate your willingness to accept an offer to study at the following UOW GSM campus locations.
Important: If you select "No" for any place type, you will not be considered for that place and will instead be assessed for your next available preference.

  • Wollongong campus – Rural-Regional Combined Track (CSP and BMP only)
  • Southern Highlands campus – Rural End-to-End Track (CSP-E2E only)
  • Shoalhaven campus – Both tracks and all place types (CSP, BMP, and CSP-E2E)


Key Considerations:
If you do not nominate a specific campus, track, or place type, and that is the only available option, you will not receive an offer from UOW. Applicants who are restricted in their ability to accept multiple campuses, tracks, or place types may be less likely to receive an offer.
