Will New Zealand ever open to IMGs again after suspension of NZREX prep. programme or it will get into default like health force of Canada??
ReplyDeleteYour question isn't very clear. NZ is still open to IMGs. You can still take the NZREX without the NZREX prep prog. Getting house officer positions, however, is difficult.
DeleteIts difficult to the house officer position because? Can you please tell more about this or sharing a weblink is also appriciated. Thanks
