These are very popular and are well subscribed opportunities for postPart lI FRANZCR local as well as international trainees. The benefits are invaluable for a young radiologist to develop expertise and to progress in their area of interest, working alongside well-respected experts.”

“ RHCNZ is committed to providing high quality fellowship training programs across the country. These programs offer subspecialty teaching to help deliver meaningful career progression to the next generation of radiologists.”

Dr Steve Merrilees Managing Radiologist

Dr Rachael McEwing Managing Radiologist Auckland Canterbury

“ We have a track record of providing high quality training for hospital registrars in the full breadth of MRI and mammography. We are keen to extend this to provide a full time Fellowship programme, which could be tailored to individual fellows subspecialty needs and interests. We believe this professional opportunity, along with the lifestyle opportunities in the Bay should be an attractive combination for those beginning their career post registrar training.”

“ Doing a Fellowship is like doing a defensive driving course after getting your drivers license. You get more exposure to a wide variety of cases and gain confidence in reading. It makes you a better Radiologist in the future and gives you the ability to deal with difficult cases.”
