You can apply for registration through this pathway if you hold a qualification accredited for licensure in the United States of America for registration as a physician associate.

All physician associates applying for registration in New Zealand must have key documents verified from their primary source. Council uses the Educational Commission for Foreign Medical Graduates’ (ECFMG) Credential Verification for Health Professionals (CVHP) service to do this.

This pathway is for physician associates who have experience practising clinically in New Zealand.
