Why work in Intensive Care Medicine in New Zealand?

Intensive Care Medicine in New Zealand offers the opportunity to work with critically ill patients as part of highly collaborative, multidisciplinary hospital teams.

Opportunities are available across larger tertiary hospitals and regional centres, with the size, patient population and nature of each ICU varying by location. This gives intensivists the opportunity to consider not only the right clinical environment, but also where in New Zealand they’d like to build their life outside of work.

NZDr helps make the process easier, with guidance around finding the right role, Medical Council registration, immigration and making the move to New Zealand.
