First Year House
Officers are allocated to our District Health Boards (DHBs) via The Advance
Choice of Employment (ACE) programme. ACE facilitates the application and
recruitment process for New Zealand and Australian medical students applying
for their first year House Officer positions throughout New Zealand. This means
that PGY1 positions are not readily available for eligible candidates outside
of the ACE process however we would recommend you sign up for career alerts in
case a vacancy becomes available.
By
completing an EOI, you are signing yourself up for a short phone interview
conducted by one of our friendly Pre-vocational Educational Supervisors. This
phone interview will help you with the overall score we give you (should you be
matched to our DHBs).
