There are, however, four clinical schools, Auckland (www.auckland.ac.nz), Wellington (www.wnmeds.ac.nz), Christchurch (www.chmeds.ac.nz) and Dunedin. The last three are the clinical schools of the University of Otago (www.otago.ac.nz). There are big summer holidays in the run up to Christmas. Therefore there aren’t many students around.
