SMO (Senior Medical and Dental Officers) Commission

www.moh.govt.nz/smo

The Director General of Health has established a commission to recommend to the Minister of Health (through the Ministry of Health), district health boards and the Association of Salaried Medical Specialists, a national recruitment and retention strategy that will provide a sustainable pathway to competitive terms and conditions of employment for senior medical and dental officers (SMO).

This establishment of the Commission recognises New Zealand’s potential vulnerability as a small, relatively geographically isolated country in:

  1. Retaining current senior medical and dental officer employees,
  2. Recruiting and retaining medical and dental officers trained in New Zealand, and
  3. Recruiting and retaining international medical graduates
