Medical Training Board

Work programme overview

On 6 August 2009 the Minister of Health announced the disestablishment of the Medical Training Board and the establishment of the Clinical Training Agency Board. The functions of the Medical Training Board will be amalgamated with the functions of the Clinical Training Agency Board.

The work programme for the Training Board is largely directed by the recommendations of the Workforce Taskforce 2007 report to the Minister of Health and the Minister for Tertiary Education: Reshaping medical education and training to meet the challenges of the 21st century.

Currently two main workstreams have been identified:

The “prevocational years” – what do we want to achieve during these years and how can this best be achieved
2021 and Beyond – what might NZ’s needs be in 10, 20 and 30 years time and how do we make sure we have the best possible chance of meeting those needs.

Papers on these 2 workstreams are in progress and will be published here when complete
