Systematic internal monitoring and planning underpins our external accountability. These systems allow for coordinated quality assurance and ongoing quality improvement, which is reported as required through accreditation, reviews and research.
Governance
The MB ChB Programme is governed by the Faculty of Medicine Executive.
This work is supported by a governance structure comprising committees, groups and panels working together to ensure programme quality, accreditation readiness, and alignment with Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Medical education research
Clinical and medical education are specialised branches of education, and the Otago medical programme is designed around principles of evidence-based educational practice as well as evidence-based medical practice. The Faculty of Medicine supports and encourages medical education research by providing grants and mentoring, and participating in international medical education networks and projects.
