Volunteering opportunities
Volunteering with JCU’s College of Medicine and Dentistry is a rewarding way to give back to society, both now and for future generations. Discover how you can get involved in helping select and train our future health workforce for our regional, rural and remote communities.
Become a Volunteer Simulated Patient
Clinical skills building and patient management are core components of training for our JCU medical students. For this, we need Volunteer Simulated Patients (VSPs) to role play cases and interact with students to develop their skills and confidence.
VSPs provide students with the opportunity to interact with real people of all ages, genders, backgrounds, health conditions and life experiences. This interaction gives JCU students a more authentic, ‘real world’ clinical skills learning experience to better prepare them for their future careers.
Help select our future doctors
Each year JCU seeks clinicians, members of the public, JCU staff/adjuncts and Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community members to be part of a medical student selection panel for JCU's Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) course.
Human Bequest Program
Donating your body after death not only has great benefits for society but gives you, the donor, the knowledge that, even after death, you will be contributing to the education of hundreds of future health professionals.
JCU's Human Bequest Program depends entirely on the generosity of individuals who wish to donate their bodies. The program plays an essential role in training the healthcare practitioners of tomorrow, as well as providing scientists, clinicians and surgeons with the requisite knowledge and tools to further advance modern surgery and treatment programs.
Rick Speare Oration
The Rick Speare Oration was established in 2022 as an annual lecture series by the College of Public Health, Medical and Veterinary Sciences to honour the late Professor Rick Speare and his significant contributions to the field of One Health. Named after Professor Speare, these orations serve as a platform for invited scientific presentations focusing on One Health, which encompasses the interconnectedness of human, animal, and environmental health.
Stay in touch
Join a vibrant and diverse graduate community and experience the many benefits of staying connected and engaged. Build valuable networks, share knowledge and grow both personally and professionally as part of this dynamic group.
Make a donation
Create a meaningful impact by contributing funds to support students or advance vital research. Your generosity can help shape futures, drive innovation and make a lasting difference in the academic community.
