Great news! new postgraduate medical school.
Are they using GAMSAT, since it is graduate entry?
There's a shortage of medical doctors in the world. If there isn't one in NZ, the world will always benefit from more doctors. If you don't believe me ask WHO or MSFHi,
Could you elaborate on why you believe that this is a good idea?

Reduce their salaries until they areMedical graduates are not 'always in demand'. The demand for medical graduates is set by DHBs/the government. If you increase med grad numbers without increasing the number of grads they can afford to hire, people miss out.
I happen to agree with your point that we should stop hiring so many international house officers, but Idk where you're getting this idea that opening a third (or fourth, as you suggest) medical school would just be completely fine.
Free market economics doesn't apply to medical graduate employment - if I need to explain why then I suggest you read up on what the definition of 'free market' is. You can't just randomly assume 'more competition is a good thing'.
As for 'the rest of the world needs more junior doctors'... medical graduates can't gallavant off to third world countries etc and practice autonomously until they're fully registered. You don't get full registration until after PGY1.
Also, please don't post three replies in a row. Put all of what you want to say in one post.
They should work as low paid intern and assume comfortable salary once they are fully registered. Just like the pharmacy internship, that way hire more graduates. This may actually stop the junior doctors protests about burn out etcYou're missing the point - you can't just 'go rural'. If you don't do PGY1, you're not a registered doctor. So you've just wasted 6 years of your life and a couple of hundred thousand taxpayer dollars.
You keep saying 'doctors are always in demand'. I suspect this statement is driven by the chronic shortage of senior doctors. Fresh medical graduates can't fill that gap. So sure, senior docs are always in demand. Fresh grads? Not so much.
So now you are firing "old" people to allow for your enthusiasm for a new med school in The Tron?Make those old farts retire then. Why are still in the job until they close to 80.
That's the problem, they should have a compulsory retirement by law. Let fresh folks get a chance.

TatSigh. There aren't enough senior doctors. We don't want more of them to retire - if they retire, there are even fewer of them around to train juniors, so we can hire fewer juniors.
You seem to be labouring under the assumption that senior and junior doctors are holding the same job: 'doctor'. That isn't the case.
Over qualified but not qualified for anything. Nice encapsulation of BA. Unfortunately I can't access the forum.@DrTrump
Has the above discussion about the need for experienced doctors and Hospital budgets being the limiting factor for the demand for junior doctors made sense? I didn't understand this until recently.
As a suggestion, if it doesn't make sense then ask some questions. People will be happy to explain.
ps.... elsewhere on the forum there is a member having a bit of a chuckle about your dump on BAs. It seems she has one... plus a masters... plus a PhD. oops.:facepalm:
