Background:
Northern Australia is a geographically large region that has too few medical graduates and is a long way from Australia's metropolitan medical schools. This paper describes the establishment of a new medical school to serve these needs.
Methods:
The paper describes the steps in development and presents an overview of the innovative educational approach, based on best available educational evidence, that aims to produce a medical workforce that understand the health care needs of the region and want to practice there.
Conclusion:
The result is an innovative, highly integrated programme with different aspirations and a different student profile from other Australian medical schools.
