There will be an opportunity for questions at the end.

The webinar also represents a unique opportunity for aspiring medical students to learn more about the University’s soon to be opened Central Coast Clinical School which will be welcoming its inaugural first year students in February.

The University of Newcastle Central Coast Clinical School is partnered with the Central Coast Local Health District and the Central Coast Research Institute and are both co-located on the site of the redeveloped Gosford Hospital.

High schools across the region have also been notified and can assist interested students with their registration.
