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. Both Auckland and Otago teach the initial three years of the course in Auckland and Dunedin respectively. Subsequently Otago students are assigned to complete their degree in either Dunedin, Christchurch, or Wellington; whereas Auckland students are assigned to adjacent hospitals and teaching schools on a short-term basis with some teaching remaining in Auckland. Prior to the opening of the University of Auckland Faculty of Medicine in 1968, Otago had had a branch faculty in Auckland.
