University of Otago, Christchurch

The University of Otago, Christchurch, formerly Christchurch School of Medicine and Health Sciences, in Christchurch, New Zealand, is one of four component schools schools that make up the University of Otago Medical School. It is based primarily at Christchurch Hospital, in Christchurch Central City, and works in partnership with the Canterbury District Health Board. All Otago University medical students who gain entry after a first year "Health Sciences" program, or who gain graduate entry spend their second and third years studying at the Dunedin School of Medicine. In their fourth and fifth years, medical students can either continue to study in Dunedin, or at the Christchurch or Wellington Schools of Medicine.

History

Starting in 1924, students could complete their last year of training at hospitals in either Auckland, Christchurch, or Wellington as well as Dunedin. In 1938, branch faculties were established in Christchurch, Auckland, and Wellington. The Christchurch branch faculty became a "clinical" school in 1973, the forerunner to the Christchurch School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
