Variations
in medical education
and clinical
practice 

Medical education and clinical practice varies considerably from one country to another reflecting access to educational and clinical resources, disease patterns and local health care priorities. These variations are even more significant in the area of specialist medical practice. Experience with the assessment of overseas trained specialists in New Zealand confirms that many overseas trained specialists will experience difficulties meeting the standards required for registration within a vocational scope, or will require significant periods of advanced training to meet the standards.
