Resident Medical Officers

The Resident Medical Officer Unit (RMO Unit) is based at Whangarei Hospital and recruits RMO’s (Registrars and House Officers) on behalf of Te Whatu Ora.

The Resident Medical Officers' year in New Zealand differs from that in other countries. The House Officer year runs from January to January each year and the Registrar year runs from February to February each year.

Positions often become available throughout the year (outside the normal recruitment timetable) – please feel free to contact our Recruitment Officer - Resident Medical Officers, RMO.Unit@northlanddhb.org.nz to ascertain availability.

All RMO’s are based at Whangārei Hospital, which is a secondary hospital. RMO’s are sent to our rural hospitals for clinics on a rostered basis.

We currently employ 60 House Officers and 70 Registrars.
