Medical Council of New Zealand

THE following rules have been made by the Medical Council of New Zealand and are published for the information of those concerned:

THE CONDITIONALLY REGISTERED MEDICAL PRACTITIONER (OR INTERN) HOUSE OFFICER SERVICE

1. The period of service of conditionally registered medical practitioners (interns), is regarded by the Medical Council of New Zealand as a compulsory training period incorporating a significant content of educational experience.

2. An intern should have the opportunity to complete such experience and training as to entitle him to become registered as a medical practitioner 12 months after graduation. The period of 1 year shall not include more than 6 weeks' absence from duty for any cause.

3. In recommending a hospital for approval as suitable for intern training, the Council considers the occupied bed state, the number and status of the medical and other staff, the supporting services (especially radiology and pathology), activities in teaching, facilities, staff accommodation, and the relationship to adjacent hospitals for the purposes of teaching, experience and staffing.

4. A hospital will not be recommended when it has less than a total of three first and second year house officers since the Council considers that with less than three it is impossible to arrange adequate educational experience. This will not apply to smaller hospitals recommended for approval under paragraph 8 below.

5. Recognising that the practice of medicine in modern hospitals has become increasingly specialised so that strictly “general” experience for all interns for the whole 12 months is unrealistic, the Council interprets flexibly the phrase in the Medical Practitioners Act 1968, section 18 (1) (a), “satisfactory experience of the practice of medicine and surgery”. This was recommended in the General Medical Council’s memorandum of 1967, and the 1968 Report of the Royal Commission on Medical Education (Todd).

6. In assessing “satisfactory experience”, the Council takes into account the nature of the four quarterly posts held during the intern year. One more specialised post may complement another of a more general nature to achieve a balanced training comprising 6 months medicine and 6 months surgery over the year. In assessing the educational value of particular posts within an approved hospital, the following classification has been used by the Council.

CATEGORY 1: More general posts suitable for an intern.

CATEGORY 2: More specialised posts suitable for a second year house officer, but which may be acceptable for an intern provided they are combined with posts from category 1, in the same or an associated hospital, to make an acceptable total.

CATEGORY 3: Posts unsuitable for an intern.

Examples of category 2 posts are obstetrics, accident and emergency (casualty), psychiatry, ear nose and throat, ophthalmology, and such specialties as thoracic and cardiac surgery. An example of a category 3 post is anaesthetics (full-time).

7. As a guide to the persons responsible for the rotation of posts for the intern, the Superintendent of an approved hospital may be advised by the Council regarding the acceptability of particular posts or combinations thereof within that hospital.

8. Only certain posts in smaller hospitals may be appropriate for the intern year. These hospitals will be recommended for approval only when such intern posts are incorporated in a rotational plan with another hospital.

9. In each approved hospital other than those approved under paragraph 8 above, an intern supervisor of tutor specialist status or above shall be designated to act with the Medical Superintendent in the allocation of posts, the planning and supervision of the training programme, and assessing the performance of the intern. The person so designated is to sign, with the Medical Superintendent, the certificate of satisfactory performance on the intern's application for registration as a medical practitioner. This supervisor is to be nominated by the medical staff of the hospital and approved by the Medical Education Committee of the Council, and his authority is to extend to smaller hospitals without such a supervisor, where interns from his hospital work on rotation.

10. The list of approved hospitals and the recommendations regarding posts within the hospitals will be reviewed as necessary by the Medical Education Committee of the Council after consultation with the Hospital Boards, their Medical Superintendents and intern supervisors referred to in paragraph 9.

11. These rules replace those formerly gazetted on 25 September 1952.

K. A. G. HINDES, Secretary to the Council.

Wellington, 26 June 1970.
