Clinical School
About Us
The Bay of Plenty Clinical School was established by the
District Health Board in 2007 to develop training and research
initiatives that would attract healthcare students and encourage
them to return as employees once qualified.
Since that time the School has supported the clinical training
of some 480 undergraduate medical, nursing and allied health
students per year at Tauranga Hospital, Whakatāne Hospital and in
general practices in the Bay. These students came from a wide range
of national and international tertiary institutions.
