"Up until now, students have had to travel to Sydney in order to undertake a medicine degree at the University of Sydney, whilst having the option of visiting the School of Rural Health in Orange or Dubbo in their penultimate or final year for a placement program," a university spokesman said.

"This new facility will provide better access to medical studies to rural students, as well as improving the experience and education outcomes of main campus students when on their rural placements."

The university reports of the program and new facilities being developed in "close collaboration" with the Western NSW Local Health District, hospitals and doctors in the region, the Dubbo community including the Wiradjuri community, which has been "generous with support and input".

Federal Member for Parkes and Minister for Regional Health Mark Coulton will attend the event along with four academics including Head of School and Dean of the Sydney Medical School Professor Cheryl Jones, and Head of Clinical School, School of Rural Health, Associate Professor Mark Arnold.
