Sarah Dalton: Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Executive Director on Waikato medical school given the greenlight

A belief the Government's claim a new medical school in Hamilton will provide more rural doctors and GPs is yet to be proven.  Cabinet's putting almost $83 million into the $230 million new University of Waikato Medical School, opening in 2028. Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Executive Director Sarah Dalton told Ryan Bridge no doctor out of university has any specialty, and it takes years of experience to get to this point.  Dalton says everyone might hope that more people going to medical school will be GPs and rural hospital medical specialists, but this isn't guaranteed.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
