Supervision is a registration requirement for all doctors registered in a provisional general, provisional vocational or special purpose scope of practice. Supervision supports a doctor’s practice and enables their performance to be assessed while they become familiar with the New Zealand health system and the expected standard of medical practice.

This page contains important information on approved qualifications, the information to include with your application, and other things that may affect your application for registration in a vocational scope.

Regardless of your scope of practice, the basic process for registration as a medical practitioner in New Zealand is as outlined here.
