Qld: Private medical school turns out first doctors

The first batch of doctors to graduate from Australia's first private medical school
.. Bond University on the Gold Coast .. will start work next month in 25 hospitals across
four states.

Vice-Chancellor Professor ROBERT STABLE says it's a milestone for Australia's health
system and the first graduates will help ease the nationwide shortage of doctors when
they take up internships from next month.

The 56 new doctors have been accepted for internships at hospitals in Brisbane .. Melbourne
.. Sydney and Adelaide.
