Category:Schools of Medicine in New Zealand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New Zealand has two universities with medical faculties, but four 'schools' of medicine. The University of Auckland teaches medicine in the Auckland and Waikato Clinical Schools, and the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Otago (based in Dunedin) teaches medicine in three medical schools: the Dunedin School of Medicine, the Wellington School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Wellington, and the Christchurch School of Medicine and Health Sciences in Christchurch. Otago teaches the initial three years of the course in Dunedin, before students are assigned to complete their degree in either Dunedin, Christchurch, or Wellington. Prior to the opening of the University of Auckland Faculty of Medicine, Otago had had a branch faculty in Auckland.
