Student Testimonials
“OUM re-ignited my passion for medicine. I am now doing my system-based modules and I have managed to juggle my small business, a young family, and my studies. I do burn the midnight oil, but for me the flexibility is what has allowed this to be possible. OUM recognizes the need for flexibility for late bloomers like myself, and in this way is affording me and my colleagues a chance at achieving this dream.”
Kereng Modise, OUM-Pre-Clinical Student, AUS“I loved being part of the mini-case discussions during system-based modules. It gives you the opportunity to teach others what you found during your research and studies but also allows you to learn from your peers about their findings. It’s a great learning environment”
Walter Chukwunonso Ikealumba, OUM Clinical Student, PhD CHE, BEng ME (Hons), MIEAust, MIIMarEST“During one of the Admissions Info sessions, one of the faculty speakers said that you have to ‘choose a medical school that meets your needs.’ Being able to work part-time during the pre-clinical curriculum was a big selling point for OUM, just as it had been with my nursing program.”
Paul Lam, OUM Clinical Student, AUSOUM Student Magazine
Launched in July 2022, the OUM Student Magazine was recommended by current students who created its editorial board and produced the publication for students, by students.
Student Support Programs
Assuring student success is an OUM cornerstone and the University’s Advisory Programs take the lead in guiding and supporting students toward their goal. Students begin working with Academic Advisors and Clinical Mentors early during their pre-clinical coursework. Research Advisors also guide students through their required research project.
