Auckland is a training centre in OMS surgery, accredited by the Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons (RACDS). You would have the opportunity to participate in registrar training.
This is a permanent position, and we would consider part time (minimum 2 weekdays per week) which is primarily based at Middlemore Hospital with some sessions at Greenlane Clinical Centre and Auckland City Hospital. Several of our incumbent OMS surgeons work part time in private practice. There are opportunities, in Auckland for the successful candidate to do likewise.
