Wellington School of Medicine &
Health Sciences
University of Otago
New Zealand
The Wellington School of Medicine and Health Sciences
is one of the University of Otago's three medical
schools. It was established in 1971 and has an
interesting history. About 200 fourth, fifth and
sixth year Medical students and 100 Radiation Therapy
students attend the School, as well as a similar number
of postgraduate students who are involved with diploma
courses and research degrees.
Relationship with teaching hospitals in the region
Sited on the campus of Wellington Hospital, the
School enjoys a close working relationship with this
teaching hospital as well as other hospitals in the
region. Clinical members of the academic staff are
leaders and innovators in clinical care who contribute
to the training of future young specialists.
Curriculum development and learning
The School is an innovative curriculum developer,
especially in problem based learning. This involves
tutorial, self assessment and supporting lecture
programmes which are a logical extension of second and
third year studies at the University of Otago. Problem
based learning encourages students to continue with self
and group directed learning as well as helping develop
clinical reasoning, decision making and the scientific
basis of clinical medicine.
Research interests
Major research interests of the School include
infectious diseases and immunity. The largest research
group within the School which is investigating
respiratory disease is the
Wellington Asthma Research Group (WARG). The School
also has a strong focus on public and environmental
health.
We hope the Wellington community sees the Wellington
School of Medicine and Health Sciences as an asset
contributing to improved health care.
