Ensuring a safe, high-quality medical workforce
CMC invites politicians, colleges, clinicians, educators, iwi and community partners, universities, and system leaders to focus our shared efforts on building a sustainable, culturally safe, future-ready workforce that delivers equitable outcomes for all people of Aotearoa.
We act as a forum for the medical colleges, to discuss issues of common interest, and to share knowledge, objectives and policies. We inform and advise key health sector groups, including Ministers, government agencies, and other relevant bodies on health sector issues.
Recognised, trusted and authoritative
We produce reports, papers and position statements where there is collective agreement amongst our members. We undertake projects on specific issues at the direction of the Board of Trustees.
We regularly make submissions on health sector consultations and government bills, particularly those related to patient safety, medical training and workforce issues.
