*This position is about to be advertised. As soon as the advert is up on the recruitment web site all NZREX
applicants registered with us will be notified.
There is a Ministry of Health target of the number of PGY 1 that we are required to appoint to positions
each year. Due to the required increase in PGY1 numbers since 2015 we had no positions (runs) suitable
in Q1, 2017, 2018, 2019 for NZ REX Applicants. We review when vacancies occur if they are suitable for
a NZREX and, if so, advertise.
Thank you for your enquiry. We trust it meets your requirement/s, however should you require any
further information please feel free to contact me.
