2018 ACE and DHB Employer Roadshow Dates
The ACE and DHB roadshow gives medical students an opportunity to meet with DHB employers from across New Zealand and gather information about the process of applying for a first year House Officer position.
These events are a great way for 4th, 5th and 6th year students to gather more information about the employers they may be interested in applying to. In addition to this, ACE facilitates a 20 minute Q&A session where applicants can ask questions about the finer details of submitting their application.
