Uni and PHOs working on plan to increase clinical placement options

Libby Reporter from Waikato Local

The University of Waikato has taken steps to again help fill the gaps of the struggling health workforce by joining forces with local primary health organisations to help each other train more medics.

While the university awaits a government decision on creating the country’s third medical school, they’ve signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with three Waikato-based Primary Health Organisations (PHOs).
