Faculties
Faculties are based on geographical areas or other communities of interest needed to administer the College. They are aimed at supporting GPs in their local areas. Faculties may further be divided into sub-faculties.
Geographical Faculties
The Faculties are based around Auckland, Waikato, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago-Southland and allow members to be involved in discussion and decision-making at a regional level. There are nine sub-faculties which provide local opportunities for connection and collaboration. All College members are automatically assigned to a geographical faculty and will receive information about faculty activities directly.
National Faculties
The College has two national faculties: Te Akoranga a Maui (Maori Faculty) and the Rural Faculty. Membership of these faculties is optional.
A sub-faculty of the Rural Faculty is the Division of Rural Hospital Medicine (DRHM). This covers FDRHMNZs, RHM registrars, GPs working in rural hospitals and rural hospital doctors (MOSS).
