The aim is to provide a provincial experience and ready them for their first intern positions.
They are very much part of the medical teams that they are attached to and attend all the team’s meetings as well as involvement in acute admitting, inpatient care and outpatient clinics.As they are TIs and not registered medical practitioners there are some restrictions on their practice such as prescribing medications but they are here to learn and enjoy being part of the Taranaki culture.
