Hi there, I've just started BMid at Flinders Uni in SA, where it is not offered either part-time or externally, although some (not many) of the topics can be done externally (I am currently doing an external topic of Indigenous Health, as I have previously completed 2 of the 1st year topics when I started nursing 2 yrs ago, so I am effectivley 'part-time'....) I dont know what UNISA (the other Uni offering BMid here in Adelaide) are doing in terms of offering part-time or external stuff, but you can prolly find the info on their website: (which I have just tracked down for you) http://www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/courseinfo/DisplayCourse.asp?Course=UBMY&Stream=1&Division=HSC The Flinders website is here: http://www.flinders.edu.au/calendar/vol2/ug/BMid.htm hope this hepls :))
