Overview and your details

Council determines the requirements for International Medical Graduates (IMGs) to obtain registration in Aotearoa New Zealand before they commence practising medicine.

Noting the current health workforce pressures, particularly in the medical profession, it is important that Council continually reviews and updates registration policies and pathways to ensure they are fit for purpose and enabling.

Council is proposing to extend the provisional vocational assessment period from 18 to 24 months. This will enable a specific cohort of specialist IMGs who may not otherwise meet the standard, to gain provisional vocational registration and complete discrete training to address identified deficiencies in their qualifications, training and experience.

We welcome your feedback on Council's proposal.
