Every institution values excellence. What matters most is why.
Griffith was created to be a different type of university. You’ll find we’re about leading research, academic excellence, and the transformative power of education. But what sets us apart is why those things matter and how you’ll achieve them.

Why? Griffith brings together exceptional minds like yours from across the globe and from all walks of life. Here, we do incredible work, questioning and challenging, always in the pursuit of excellence.

The School of Medicine and Dentistry strives to prepare the next generation of professionals and practitioners to tackle health and healthcare challenges in an ever-changing world. As a community, we are committed to building better health outcomes for all by delivering high-quality education, impactful research and engagement with and for the communities we serve.

As a community we are committed to the highest standards of learning and teaching across our diverse academic programs and courses.

The School of Medicine and Dentistry shares the Health Group and broader University's commitment to excellence, ethical behaviour, and engagement. The Health Group Charter articulates the core values and behaviours we expect in our workforce: inclusion, integrity, performance, respect, and collaboration.  These values and behaviours are embedded in the School's annual Academic Staff Career Development process and frame staff performance planning and review conversations.
