New Zealand vocational medical training and recertification providers and accreditation standards
It is Council’s role to accredit and monitor specialist training providers and to promote medical education training in New Zealand. Council assesses the following New Zealand-based vocational medical training and recertification providers against our standards which are included at the bottom of this page.
Standards
-
Education institutions that offer vocational medical training and recertification programmes must gain accreditation with Te Kaunihera Rata o Aotearoa | Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) by meeting the Accreditation standards for Aotearoa New Zealand training providers of vocational medical training and recertification programmes (2022).
-
These standards have been superseded by the 2022 standards above.
Guidance
-
This guide is for accredited training providers who are preparing for a Medical Council of New Zealand (MCNZ) accreditation assessment.
