Please read the rules and regulations of The University of Auckland and the
Auckland Area Health Board which controls the teaching hospitals.
1. Responsibility
Overseas students will be responsible to the Dean of the Faculty of Medical and
Health Sciences at The University of Auckland for the period of their
attachment. Such students are not permitted to undertake paid employment
during the period of their elective in New Zealand.
2. Limitations
The intern supervisor of the institution concerned will acquaint the student of
any limitations to be imposed upon her/him. Restraints will be concerned
with:
- prescribing narcotics
- prescribing drugs for dispensing at external pharmacies
- signing death certificates
- duties in accident and emergency departments (casualty).
Any limitations imposed would take into account the degree of training already
completed.
3. Dress code
Dress should be neat, tidy, sensible and appropriate. Revealing clothing is not
appropriate, nor are jeans. Men should wear ties unless senior medical
staff permit otherwise. Closed shoes must be worn. White coats
should be worn in clinical situations if specific instructions require this for
safety reasons.
