important note
RNZCUC is updating the training programme. Which course of training you are placed on is dependent on your application paperwork being received (in full), and your training programme start date.
- We will place you on the 2024 programme if your application paperwork is received by 30 September 2024, and you commence training on or before 31 December 2024.
- We will place you on the 2025 programme if your application paperwork is received after 30 September 2024 or you commence training after 31 December 2024. Note that to commence training a registrar must have a workplace and a supervisor agreement.
Pathways
RNZCUC allows doctors to complete the Fellowship training programme whether based in Aotearoa New Zealand or overseas (in a country with a health system deemed comparable to that in Aotearoa New Zealand, a “CHS”). Those with significant emergency medicine training and experience may request that the College considers them for the accelerated pathway to to Fellowship.
Whether applying in Aotearoa New Zealand, overseas (CHS country), or for the accelerated pathway, the first step is to read the appropriate sub-menu page of this section. You will be asked to complete the eligibility request form, which also constitutes an expression of interest.
