There is a clinical governance framework in place and research opportunities will be available for interested and enthusiastic trainees.
Tauranga is a great place to live and work – a vibrant and expanding city with both coastal and rural attractions right on our doorstep. We wind down after work with surfing, kayaking, paddleboarding, fishing, mountain biking and much more. We have a great café scene and wineries nearby too.
We are a close-knit team who enjoy the challenging environment of Emergency Medicine. We feel fortunate to live and work in such a great place and look forward to sharing this with our successful applicants.
