Clinical medicine at Monash University has continued its
rise in the international rankings, according to results released this month by
Times Higher Education.
Ranked an impressive 35 in the world in clinical,
preclinical medicine and health, Monash has jumped from 46 last year, while the
University overall rose to achieve a ranking of 73, out of 800 institutions in
the 2015-16 Times Higher Education World University Rankings.
Professor Eric Morand, Head of Monash University's School of Clinical Sciences at Monash Health observed we have improved our performance
across all five performance pillars: teaching, research, citations, industry
income, and international outlook.
Professor Morand said the
rankings rise reflected the University’s consistent focus on excellence in
research and teaching, and international and industry engagement.
“The University
recognises its education and research partnerships with its major teaching
hospitals as an absolutely key component of its ongoing success in the world
rankings.”
“Monash Health is
the university's largest clinical placement partner,” added Professor
Morand.
“Both sides of this partnership not only contribute to
this success, but ultimately benefit from it—virtue of the effect of rankings
attracting better students who become the health professional staff of Monash
Health.”
“The leadership of Monash Partners Academic Health ScienceCentre has been pivotal in this result,” said Dean and Academic Vice-President of the Faculty of Medicine,
Nursing and Health Sciences at Monash University, Professor Christina
Mitchell.
