We believe that investing in the Faculty’s facilities is an investment in future generations of medical professionals. Through alumni contributions, CoMSAA Australia has supported projects that enhance student learning and wellbeing, such as the AUD 3,000 contributed towards the refurbishment of the Family Medicine Unit.

“The Department of Family Medicine has been actively involved in undergraduate and postgraduate teaching, learning and assessment of medical and allied health science students since the establishment of the Family Medicine Unit. COMSAA Australia generously contributed AUD 3,000 towards furnishing the new Family Medicine Centre at UCFM Tower, which has become the main teaching hub for undergraduate and postgraduate Family Medicine education.

Thank you very much for your generous contribution”.
