I'm surprised that no one mentions anything about Otago Medical School, when it's got a long history, a fabulous faculty and facilities comparable to some of the best institutions in the world! Why? WHY?

Some of the RMO's at my hospital are Otago and Auckland grads. Perhaps New Zealand will become a destination for the foreign student in a few years. I remember hearing that they are contemplating introducing a graduate stream to run side by side with the undergraduate course, a la UofMelbourne.
So if anyone wants to work there the best route is to get your training in Australia and then go there (esp. since it's all recognised), b/c at the current time it's much easier to do all of this in Australia as an international than it is in NZ

You could easily substitute Aus and NZ for US and Can and the exact same situation would occur!
Incidentally, Singapore is actively recruiting for interns, so a great experience is to be had after graduation if you want to spend some time in Singapore.

It doesn't matter whether you're a harvard graduate or an oxford graduate, the chance to become a HK intern is still zero.

The only negative thing I've heard about Singapore so far is that it's really expensive to get a car there..

The med school is getting accredited again next year, so they're doing a fair amount ...

Don't forget the one about it being a police state
But NZ potential sounds cool, will certainly spend time there while in Aus. to see if that option remains attractive over the years..

Pitman if you have a previous degree let me suggest something to you. Go to the NZ website and see if you qualify for a PR, if you do then I would suggest you apply for it.
You will get it pretty easily and it wil not effect ur status as an international student at all (at any Australian uni since you are a NZ PR not a NZ citizen) and after you complete your internship in Aus you can then apply for a residency position in NZ...there are more of these to go around than internships and since u r a PR (and an Aussie grad) you have a good shot at them .

How can someone living/going to school in Australia get PR in NZ? Don't you have to live where you're a PR?
I have a math degree, but most my expertise is in biomedical engineering and Internet application dev., but I'll certainly look at the site..tanks, red.

further to the above posting, how do Australians view New Zealand doctors? Do Australians view them as being on par with Australian doctors?

Hey all you Kiwis
I'm planning on doing my elective in NZ in March & April 2005 and since I know it's popular I'm going about the prep now.
Could any of you tell me anything about Palmerston North? Also, general info about decent sized hospitals on the coast on either island would be great... I know I'm asking for a lot! If you know any good general websites etc then let me know.
Cheers all
Fiona
