The NZMA’s Doctors-in-Training Council (DiTC) has developed a new resource aimed at parents undertaking medical training. The NZMA guide for combining parenting and a medical career provides readers with a multitude of valuable information to parents in medical training, including leave entitlements, child care, contract information, and international comparisons.

A large part of the guide is dedicated to profiling medical parents, enabling you to read about the real world experiences of fellow medical parents, and find out how they managed the varying demands of family and continuing medical training.

The guide is an evolving piece of work, and will be updated regularly to ensure currency of the information within. It is available in PDF format on the Doctors-in-Training Council page of the NZMA website: http://www.nzma.org.nz/Doctors-in-Training.
