The Melbourne Medical School begins its 150th Anniversary Celebrations, taking a long look down memory lane.
2012 marks the Melbourne Medical School’s 150 years of operation, after first opening its doors in 1862. The Melbourne Medical School has established a historical timeline, showcasing its highlights over its existence.
Highlights include:
- when women first joined the medical school in 1887;
- how many of its students left school to battle in WWI; and
- the number of Nobel Prize winners were are Melbourne Medical School alumni.
While alumni have been encouraged to share their memories from the Melbourne Medical School, the current student roster are also getting involved. The Melbourne Medical School Students’ Association has established a Med150 Ambassador Program.
This nine-person committee will help organize volunteers for events commemorating the 150th anniversary. The majority of the Med150 events will take place between May and September, but the group has already started the planning phases.
