ANU Medical School can be seen as a descendant of the University of Sydney's Canberra Clinical School. Prior to its founding in 1993, students from the University of Sydney, NSW and the University of Queensland had been coming to Canberra to complete placements at Woden Valley Hospital for many years. Under the guidance of Professor Paul Gatenby, the Canberra Clinical School developed a strong learning program at the point of operation for the entire final year of a five-year undergraduate medical degree at the University of Sydney.
When the University of Sydney introduced a four-year undergraduate program in 1996, the school became responsible for training 20 students throughout the year for three and four courses and parts of years one and two. During this time, the school took the first steps towards its current reputation for establishing state-of-the-art medical research, laboratories, a tissue and organ museum and an animal house at the Canberra Hospital.
The school has helped in the development of first-class health services in ACT, providing better medical care to the community. Given the presence of a medical school in the city, the school attracts eminent medical researchers and teachers as well as medical practitioners for all specialties, which is important in their decision to practice here. The current dean, Professor Imogen Mitchell, continues to strengthen the school's first-grade curriculum and internationally recognized medical research program.
