We are recognised internationally for rural and remote health service and workforce development.

Through the NT Medical Program, students can access medical training opportunities across the Northern Territory. Students can undertake the full four year graduate entry Flinders University Doctor of Medicine (MD) in the NT, or a six year undergraduate entry double degree in collaboration with Charles Darwin University (Bachelor of Clinical Sciences/Doctor of Medicine). The Northern Territory Medical Program has sites in Darwin, Alice Springs, Katherine and Nhulunbuy.

The Centre for Remote Health offers a broad range of educational activities for health professionals working in rural and remote regions of Australia.They have established a research program which seeks to be responsive to community and health service needs, with an emphasis on collaborative effort and capacity building.

The vision of the Poche Centre Alice Springs is to contribute to the improved health outcomes of Aboriginal people in remote communities of the Northern Territory and Australia, through conducting high quality research, education, and training. The Centre achieves this vision in partnership with Aboriginal communities. The Centre builds on Flinders University’s existing strengths in Central Australia and works to increase the number of Indigenous students studying medicine, nursing and other health profession courses, further develop the skills of the non-Indigenous health workforce, lead research into Indigenous health related behaviour, and improve training in cross-cultural communication skills.
