About Torohia
Torohia is Aotearoa New Zealand’s new annual national Medical Training Survey led by Te Kaunihera Rata o Aotearoa | Medical Council of New Zealand.
The name Torohia means ‘exploring, scouting out, reaching out’—reflecting its purpose to listen to and learn from doctors-in-training across Aotearoa New Zealand.
All doctors-in-training in Aotearoa New Zealand, including RACP trainees, are eligible and strongly encouraged to participate.
By sharing your training experiences through Torohia, you play a vital role in shaping the future of medical training in Aotearoa New Zealand.
Your feedback helps us and the Medical Council identify what’s working well and where improvements are needed, so that we can continue to strengthen the quality of training for you and future trainees.
