List of Medical Schools in Australia

Medical students in Australia face stiff competition for jobs after graduation. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare's 2007 Medical Labour Force Survey found more than 67,000 employed physicians in Australia. The agency's Australian Hospital Statistics for 2007 to 2008 determined that Australia only held 1,314 public and private hospitals.
