The United Nations Millennium Developmental Goals (UNMDG) Project is a joint venture between the UQ School of Medicine and the UQ Medical Society. It aims to incorporate issues of Developing World Health and Australian Indigenous Health into teaching and training to assist MBBS students to have relevant clinical experiences, offer extracurricular activities and raise awareness of these issues.
