I am a Doctor is made possible thanks to a funding grant from the NZRDAET.

One of the objectives of the NZRDA Education Trust is to fund projects that educate and provide information to the medical profession and/or the general public in NZ on matters and issues of relevance to the education or training of RMOs in NZ.

If you or an RMO you know needs funding for that big (or little!) idea that meets this or another of the Trusts objectives and would like to apply, please go to nzrda.org.nz/nzrda-education-trust
