Macarthur Clinical School (MCS)
The Western Sydney University Macarthur Clinical School, located at Campbelltown Hospital, is a joint initiative between Western Sydney University and the NSW Government.
The 4-storey state-of-the-art training centre brings together expert teachers and clinical training opportunities for medical students and researchers.
The medical facility is a world class structure that includes a simulation laboratory, library, teaching spaces, lecture theatre, practical rooms, study space and office space for clinical academic teams.
Locating the school on the campus of Campbelltown Hospital ensures medical students have access to quality, hands-on training. The hospital has recently opened a new 12-storey clinical services building and this will greatly expand the clinical education opportunities for MCS students, while increasing the local medical management opportunities for the Macarthur population.
There are currently approximately 350 WSU medical students attached to Macarthur Clinical School. The school is a vital part of a medical student’s journey, providing the opportunity to acquire and practice the clinical skills needed to become a highly competent doctor. The school aims to provide the employment opportunity and incentives for a higher proportion of medical students and doctors from the area to stay and continue to work locally.
