Introduction to Nepean Clinical School

Nepean Clinical School is located at Nepean Hospital Approximately 50km west of Sydney CBD at the foot of the Blue Mountains.

Teaching within this School is provided by a large number of clinicians, including academics, hospital specialists with academic titles, and many private practitioners, in both hospital and community settings.

While the University of Sydney Medical Program is the main context for student teaching, medical education continues into the early postgraduate years, and indeed further into the specialist training programs, conducted by the various Royal Colleges.

Medical research is another major aspect of the Clinical School's activities. Many postgraduate research students undertake their training towards a higher degree in the facilities of the School, under the supervision of scientists and clinicians conducting research programs in a wide variety of fields. Research training is coordinated by the Research Sub-Dean, Professor James Wiley. Nepean Campus has built a well-deserved reputation for innovative educational programs, and a strong emphasis on giving students access to a broad range of clinical and research opportunities. More information about all of these activities is given in other parts of this website.

The administrative team of the School is ready to respond to enquiries, both electronically and in person, and together with the teachers, doctors, and medical students, they are keen to help you in any way they can.
