Mō tēnei tūranga mahi | About this role

What does Auckland have to offer?

Auckland consistently ranks as one of the most liveable cities in the world with its stunning natural landscapes, mix of cultures and world class entertainment. In working in the Auckland Region, you will have the opportunity to work alongside passionate and knowledgeable senior clinicians who will provide you with world class supervision and mentorship.

Working as a Renal Advanced Trainee

Nephrology encompasses care of patients with acute kidney injury, chronic kidney disease, dialysis and renal transplantation. Trainees can expect to develop a greater understanding of clinical Nephrology, basic science and physiology, clinical research and procedural skills.  All three DHBs offer structured teaching opportunities and are affiliated with the University of Auckland School of Medicine. For additional information on Nephrology Training please visit the Royal Australasian College of Physicians (RACP) website.

Medicine Registrar Runs

Medicine Registrar runs in the Auckland region are six months in length, following which you may rotate into a different run. Example run descriptions for the 2022 training year can be viewed on the Auckland Doctors website. For further information on Advanced Training in New Zealand please visit the RACP website.

There are two types of jobs available:

Advanced Training in Renal Medicine

• You will need to have passed the RACP written exam or be registered to sit the clinical exam for 2022.
• These positions will only be offered to those who have passed the clinical exam and completed basic training. For those completing the exam later this year, if you do not pass the clinical exam then you will no longer be eligible for an advanced training position, and may be considered for a run allocation.
• You will need to be eligible for registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand. Support and assistance with this process is provided.

Six month allocations for those interested in Renal Medicine experience as part of General Medicine or other Specialty training

• Must be at least a RACP Basic Trainee Registrar.
• Eligible for registration with the Medical Council of New Zealand. Support and assistance with this process is provided.

If you are already a Renal advanced trainee and a current employee in the Auckland region then you do not need to apply via this job listing. You will have independent meetings with your specialty.

Important: if you are a current RMO employee in the Auckland region seeking a six month allocation or applying for advanced training in Renal then you will need to formally apply.
