Career Planning
RDA and Te Whatu Ora have developed a nationally consistent vocational career design framework for RMOs and Te Whatu Ora in New Zealand.
Vocational Career Design
There are two main aspects to Career Planning. The first; career design is individual to the doctor concerned. It is a process by which the resident doctor makes their decisions on which vocational option, or options, are the most suitable for their future career path. This is a private decision that requires support from access to high quality vocational and workforce information, advice and mentorship, and access to the resources and opportunities needed to enable that pathway. The second, that of vocational intent, is a workforce issue and follows the personal decision.
Below are the agreed guidelines and career planning form for RMOs to complete as needed, or when updating their career plans.
