       Acceptable primary medical qualifications criteria

Primary medical qualifications

The Medical Council of New Zealand (Council) currently regards most, but not all, of the primary medical qualifications listed in the Avicenna Directory as acceptable for the purposes of registration with the MCNZ. 

Council is currently reviewing the criteria for an acceptable primary medical qualification for the purposes of registration or entrance into NZREX in
New Zealand. As an interim measure, Council has decided that doctors with primary medical degrees on the list below are not able to apply to sit NZREX Clinical or for registration to practise medicine in New Zealand

This list is assembled from lists already collated and used by the General Medical Council (GMC) in the United Kingdom and Federation of State Medical Boards (specifically the State of California) in the United States.  It was last updated on 28 July 2009.

For information on the criteria used to exclude these qualifications, please refer to the respective websites of the Medical Board of the State of California and the GMC.

This page will be updated with new information once Council has finalised the policy around acceptance of graduates from these medical schools.
