STEP INCIDE JCU’S NEW YENIE BUILDING AND IMMEDIATELY YOU’RE INSPIRED TO LEARN 📚
From the outside it is architecturally stunning with its mix of materials, straight lines and curves with a boomerang-shaped roof over the entrance and a prominent copper tower.
It’s inside though where magic is brewing with classes having kicked off for 2026.
Excitingly, the Yeinie Building (formerly CTEC) enables medicine students to now be able to undertake all six years of their degree right here in Cairns.
Touring this magnificent facility with Head of Cairns Clinical School Dr Aileen Traves and Regional Medical Training Manager Liz Deakin, it becomes obvious quickly what an enormous impact this facility will have on the region.
The financial burden of sending children elsewhere will ease considerably for Far Northern families and go a long way to retaining medical skills in the future.
The Yeinie Building on Charles Street is the first stage in the developing CHHHS-led Far North Health and Innovation Precinct and boasts eight rooms for clinical teaching, a two-bed demonstration ward set up for medical clinical skills demonstrations and a 10-bed hospital ward, along with multipurpose teaching rooms, lecture spaces and desks for 50 staff.
This is where our bright sparks of today are training to be our medical heroes of tomorrow.🧑⚕️👨⚕️
We can’t wait to hear more from JCU College of Medicine and Dentistry Dean Professor Sarah Larkins who will be a guest speaker at our Advancing Together: Future of Health in FNQ event on Thursday, February 19. 😀
