Political commentator and Integrity Institute director Bryce Edwards says it is not a health policy, but a political decision made without due process. He speaks to Emile.
(00:00) Reflections on Medical School and Healthcare(11:01) Evaluating Medical School Admissions Criteria(15:10) Navigating Changes in Medical Education(20:53) Adapting to Changes in Medical EducationFrom a first-generation college student passionate about science to the founder of Medical School Headquarters, my journey in the world of medicine has been anything but ordinary. My early aspirations to become an orthopedic surgeon were pivoted by a life-altering injury, steering me toward a path in medicine where collaboration trumped competition, even when faced with discouraging academic advice.As we track the shifting landscape of medical school admissions, I share insights on how empathy, communication, and leadership have become just as crucial as GPA and MCAT scores. Conversations with fellow parents and colleagues reveal a new paradigm where schools cherish soft skills to foster successful patient outcomes. While some institutions still cling to academic metrics, there's a growing acknowledgment of the significance of compassionate care, encouraging future doctors to become empathetic caregivers and active community members.Navigating the evolving realm of medical education, we tackle the ripple effects of policy changes, like the Supreme Court's stance on affirmative action and potential shifts in loan forgiveness programs. Despite these challenges, there's a surge in privately funded residency positions that open doors for new generations of medical students. By exploring initiatives like Application Renovation and the role of AI in medicine, we underscore the need for adaptability in this dynamic field, ensuring that aspiring doctors are well-prepared for the future of healthcare.
The Labour Leader has responded to Luxon's heated comments in response to their jabs about the cost of living. The Opposition has criticised the Government's flagship cost of living policy, raising a red flag over only 153 families getting the maximum credit across all four quarters. Luxon says Labour's crying crocodile tears, and that he's not taking any lectures from "frickin Chris Hipkins" about not supporting working Kiwis. Hipkins told John MacDonald that Luxon is focused on attacking other people and blaming everybody else, rather than speaking up in favour of his own government's track records. “Show me the money” is the Opposition's call over the Government plan for the new Waikato Medical School. It'll get $83 million in taxpayer funding and more than $150 million from the university and investors. The Labour leader told MacDonald we need to train more doctors, but this could take longer than just increasing intakes at existing medical schools. He says the Government should be transparent about this decision. Hipkins says Labour won't stop the project if construction's already under way if it gets into Government.

There's concerns over whether the costs for the new Waikato University medical school will blow out and be passed on to taxpayers. Cabinet will contribute $80 million to the $230-million-dollar Waikato University school, which is expected to open in 2028 for 120 trainees. University of Waikato Vice-Chancellor Neil Quigley says the university is on track for a surplus of $20 million this financial year. "The university is in really good financial shape, enrolments have risen very quickly this year...and we have no debt at the moment either."

We all know we need more doctors. A lot more. Considering how long it takes to train a doctor, this is something that someone should have probably thought about 20 or 30 years ago. New Zealand's population has doubled since the last med school was opened, so you can see how far behind we are. But now we have a proposed new medical school in the Waikato. This was dreamed up last electoral cycle by the University with the help of a report and analysis by Stephen Joyce with his consultation hat on. Shane Reti was heavily involved with the university. The University called the school a present for National's second term. Low and behold, it became National's policy at the last election, and it seemed a vote winner. After all, we know we need more doctors But then it all got sticky with bureaucrats and coalition partners suggesting the idea might not fly. Now it's back with a miraculous cut in budgeted costs and a substantial expectation that generous benefactors would make up any underfunding from the government. And if they didn't, the University had the means to cover any shortfall. The two universities that already have medical schools don't support it. They say just give us more money and we'll make more doctors. A PWC report last year said a school was duplicative and expensive. And with the need for doctors so urgent there's the time factor – to get a school up and running takes a while. You need all sorts of specialised spaces. The Waikato Graduate School of Medicine is scheduled to open in 2028 —three years from now— versus two schools who claim they could grow intake from next year. The whole thing seems a bit rife of political necessity. They promised it, so it has to happen whether it's a good idea or not. It reeks of wasteful government spending as a payback to loyal supporters. It preys on the largesse of the wealthy. Is it a good idea? If it was a good idea why has not been part of our long-term planning for longer? Training to become a doctor in New Zealand typically takes 12 to 17 years, depending on the chosen specialty. But a third school has suddenly landed in our lap. I'm not against Waikato having a medical school in the future – health experts have said rural-origin students who train in rural areas and are trained by rural health professionals are six times more likely to work in those rural areas post-graduation. Now Hamilton is quite rural, but frankly so is Otago so I'm not sure that's a reason to have a school there. But right now, it seems a bit rushed and political. So do you support the establishment of a school in Hamilton? And then there's all the other issues around medical staff. The proposal to date aims to produce proportionately more rural and primary care doctors via a four-year graduate programme, largely based in the community and the wider region's general practices, yet drawing also on the many excellent clinicians at Waikato and other regional hospitals, so that graduates (as at Otago and Auckland) are equipped to go into any area of medicine. Many in the medical sphere say the real problem in banging out doctors is not in the number of places at a school, but where they go to get on-the-job training – placements So to train more doctors we need more doctors to train more doctors. And this school does nothing to solve that problem. Once they're trained in theory, how do we train them practically? Once they are trained, how do we pay them properly, and then how do we keep them from disappearing overseas? And then there's the question of where we find people with the ability and desire to go through the arduous process of training to be a doctor. Because doctors don't grow on trees.

Let's start with the positives in the news that the Government is pressing ahead with a new medical school at Waikato University. 120 new med students every year. You can't argue with that. But that's about it for me. I'm not going to criticise the Government for doing something to get more doctors, because we need them. Especially in rural and regional areas, which look to be the main focus of this new school. But I think it would have been way better for the Government to invest more in the existing medical schools at Otago University and Auckland University. Especially Otago, when you consider all the money that's going into the new hospital down there. I see that Otago University is saying the same sort of thing. But I suppose with former Labour cabinet minister Grant Robertson running the place, it would say that. Auckland University seems to be a bit more diplomatic on it, but both universities have put up the same argument in the past: that, rather than starting something from scratch, it would be better to put the money into training more doctors at the medical schools already up-and-running. The main concern for me though is the finances. The Government is putting-in less money into the Waikato medical school than it said it would, relying instead on the university and its financial backers to make up the shortfall. Before the last election, National campaigned on a $380 million medical school, saying it would spend $280 million, and the university would chip in $100 million. But yesterday the Government announced it would be contributing just over $85 million, and the university would be putting in $150 million with help from its donors. Which has got the opposition parties asking questions too. Green Party tertiary education spokesperson Francisco Hernandez says Treasury has already raised concerns about Waikato University's ability to contribute to the costs. He says: "The Government got advice that approving the Waikato medical school would raise the risk profile of Waikato University from medium to high.” And, like me, he reckons the budget's going to be blown. "The cost estimates have shifted so much, I wouldn't be surprised if there's scope creep down the line and Waikato Uni ends up having to come back to the Government with a begging bowl, because the cost ends-up being more than what they thought it would be." And that's where I see this thing at risk of falling over – either falling over or needing more government money down the track. Because as soon as anyone starts using the “ph” word, I get suspicious. And the government's using the “ph” word. Philanthropists. People with money to donate to causes they believe in. The cathedral in Christchurch – that was going to get truckloads of money from philanthropists, wasn't it? Canterbury Museum – the philanthropists were going to be writing out cheques for that project too, weren't they? And, as someone with a bit of experience in universities and philanthropy, I can tell you that getting money out of people is way easier said than done. Although —not wanting to be a complete downer— I've always said that, post-covid especially, philanthropists are much more likely to put money into things that help people, as opposed to just building something for the sake of it. But raising money this way is a long haul. And anyone being asked to contribute will want to see a business case. They'll want to see who else is on board. And that won't happen overnight. And I bet you that all the high rollers that the university might approach will look at the Government's reduced investment and ask how committed it really is. But here's my prediction: It won't be long before the university is knocking on the Government's door, saying it needs more taxpayer money. And at that point, we'll all accept that investing more in our existing medical schools is a way better option. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government has green-lit a new medical school at the University of Waikato, ending months of delays due to coalition wrangling. It was a National election promise, and it has finally got the go ahead, with the government announcing it will front up around $80 million while the University pays $150 million for the project. It will add 120 doctor training places each year, starting in 2028. The announcement also came as inflation edges to a 12-month high, and the Minister in charge of Pharmac released a new letter of expectations. Political reporter Lillian Hanly spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
Cabinet has approved the business case for a third medical school, but the total budget has reduced from $380 million to $230 million, with the university expected to stump up the lion's share of $150 million. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Corin Dann.
The University of Waikato's Vice Chancellor says he's not worried about the government's reduction in funding for its third medical school. Professor Neil Quigley spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
The government contribution to a third medical school at the University of Waikato is $200 million less than previously anticipated. Health Minister Simeon Brown spoke to Corin Dann.

The Union for Junior Doctors wants assurances that Waikato University can raise the extra $150 million needed from donors to fund its new medical school. National secretary Deborah Powell spoke to Corin Dann.
Labour is calling the approval for a third medical school an unclear investment and wants costings for the project released immediately. Labour's spokesperson for health Ayesha Verrall spoke to Corin Dann.
Construction will begin this year on a new medical school at Waikato University. The Government's chipping in $83 million, alongside $150 million from the University and philanthropic investors. It'll have a strong focus on primary care and rural health and offer a graduate-entry programme. Health Minister Simeon Brown told Mike Hosking they've gone through a rigorous process to ensure it's as efficient and cost-effective as possible, so they can build the long-term pipeline that New Zealand needs. The postgraduate course element is already a successful model in Australia, he says. Brown told Hosking that it's about attracting people who are already living in rural communities, giving them opportunities to train and stay in place so we can attract and retain graduates.

There's optimism the new medical school will ensure a future influx of GP specialists. Waikato University's newly announced medical school will begin construction this year, opening the doors to 120 trainees in 2028. It will focus on primary and rural care. Vice Chancellor Neil Quigley told Mike Hosking students could choose not to specialise in rural health or become a GP, but there are ways of addressing this. He says Australian institutions use selection mechanisms which, if implemented, create a markedly different workforce. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Now, here's a prediction for you - watch those Waikato University medical school costs blowout. I reckon it's gonna blow out and there's all the signs this thing is gonna blow out. Even when the Waikato University was itself putting in less money, which is $100 million, there were questions about whether it could afford it because Waikato University's debt level is maxed out at the moment. So everybody looked at it and went, are you actually gonna be able to afford it? Well now, it not only has to put in the $100 million, it has to put in $150 million between itself and some philanthropists it needs to find. Now, what do you think happens if for whatever reason, it cannot quite find that money? Who do you think is going to be called upon to fund the gap? The long-suffering taxpayer. That's a blowout for us. Now, that's not even mentioning the chances that this thing costs much more than what they say it's gonna cost. I'm very suspicious about how it is that a $380 million project suddenly got cut down to $230 million without anything actually being cut out of it. How did that happen? And even at the higher estimate, which was $380 million, I was already worried that that wasn't really going to cover it, because there were warnings then that it was going to blow out - because the thing is being rushed. Treasury said that whenever we rush things, like the Dunedin Hospital build, we end up with unexpected and often urgent cost escalations. Now, I'm incredibly cynical about the fact that this has somehow managed to radically cut the costs of a scheme that was being questioned for being too expensive and unnecessary when we already have two medical schools. And I worry very much that we have been presented the best case scenario to get us across the line on a National Party election promise that actually wasn't stacking up anymore. And that once we've invested in this and the shovels are in the ground and the costs start to blow out, we go - well, we're already pouring money into it, we simply will have to continue pouring money into it, which is how this always goes. So I hope that this comes in under budget, and if it does, I absolutely will apologize for what I'm saying right now, but I don't think it will.

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.
