Annual Recruitment 2013
Applications to our annual recruitment campaign open on 1 May 2012.

Application guidelines:

• You can apply for positions in more than one area/specialty.
• You can apply for a House Officer position as well as a Registrar position.
• It is possible to apply for a Junior Registrar position after two years as a House Officer.
• It is NOT possible to apply for Senior Registrar positions in the following specialties: Colorectal Surgery, Dermatology, General Surgery (Advanced), Oral and Maxillo Facial Surgery, Otolaryngology, Neurosurgery, Orthopaedics, Paediatric Surgery, Plastic Surgery, Radiology, Urology and Vascular Surgery. These positions are reserved for training registrars in the relevant Australasian colleges. 

House Officer, Basic Registrar and Advanced Registrar level opportunities will be advertised separately on our website. When you apply you will be asked to identify the specialties you wish to be considered for within the level to which you are applying.

If you wish to apply for both a House Officer and a Registrar position you will need to submit a separate application under each of these levels.

Note: You must be eligible for registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand under the General or Provisional General Scope of Practice. Applications from those who are eligible under another scope of practice cannot be accepted.

In New Zealand, the term SHO refers to a House Officer in the third year of experience or higher.  The CDHB does not differentiate between levels of House Officer positions, and therefore does not have positions which are designated as SHO positions.

Basic registrar positions in Surgery and Internal Medicine involve rotating through the various specialties.  Those appointed are asked for their rotation preferences on acceptance of the position.
