Fellowships in NZ

Some practitioners who are planning to spend only a year or two in NZ may choose to apply for a Clinical fellow position. These practitioners would generally be very experienced in ORL having completed their training in their home country. NZ Medical Registration requirements still apply. You can obtain further information regarding registration requirements from the Medical Council of New Zealand website www.mcnz.org.nz or by e-mail from mcnz@mcnz.org.nz.
