FOREIGN DOCTORS
CONSIDERATION OF POSSIBLE INFLUX. ACQUISITION OF STATUS IN NEW ZEALAND. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) DUNEDIN, This Day. “If there is any threat of a large influx of foreign doctors into the Dominion the Medical Council will certainly have to consider the position," stated Dr Newlands, the Council’s president, today. "The Council would either require them to take the full 6-year course here oi - bar them from practising.” Dr Newlands was referring to the influx of German doctors and lawyers expelled by the Hitler purge and stated that the present position in New Zealand was that it was now proposed to institute in Australia. Foreign doctors were required to take a course of three years at the Otago Medical School, passing the final examination before their admission to the New Zealand Medical Register. That had been the position, he said, for twelve years, prior to which such foreign doctors had been compelled merely to attend the Medical School and sit for the final examination. Dr Newlands stated that there were four doctors on the Dominion register at present under that former qualification.
