Faculties

RNZCGP Faculties are based on geographical areas or other communities of interest needed to administer the College. Faculties may further be divided into sub-faculties.

The Faculties are centred round Auckland, Waikato, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago-Southland and allow members to be involved in discussion and decision-making at a local level.  Each member is automatically a member of a faculty and receives information and notices of faculty acitivities directly. 

The College has two national faculties; the Maori Faculty, Te Akoranga a Maui and the Rural Faculty.  A sub-faculty of the Rural Faculty is the Division of Rural Hospital Medicine.

Each Faculty appoints two representatives to Council.
