The Northern Territory Clinical School (NTCS) is an exciting innovation between the Northern Territory Government and The Flinders University of South Australia.

The NT Clinical School is a teaching partnership between Flinders University and Northern Territory clinical service providers. It is based at the Royal Darwin and Alice Springs Hospitals with outreach to general practices and rural or remote communities throughout the Territory

A selection of Flinders medical students complete the first two years of the postgraduate course in Adelaide then transfer to Royal Darwin Hospital for Year 3 of the course to study the key clinical disciplines.

The first students entered the third year of the Graduate Entry Medical Program at Royal Darwin Hospital in 1998. Since then the NT Clinical School has had a significant impact on the education of medical students in and for the Territory.

Each year fourteen NT Clinical School students graduate from Flinders University as medical practitioners. Their academic performance has been excellent and they have gained invaluable knowledge of the specific health challenges of relevance to the Northern Territory. Many of these students have chosen to return to the Territory on graduating.

The students' enthusiasm for the course is fostered by the enormous dedication and commitment of all those who teach them in either a hospital or general practice setting and is enhanced by the diversity of their medical experiences.
