Information for December Registration Examination Candidates
Due to covid lockdown we understand that some applicants may be having difficulty meeting some of the application requirements.
For identification purposes we will accept a colour printed head+shoulders photo.
NZATS are aware of a delay in students receiving AUT final results. We invite you to submit your registration examination application before the posted closing date. AUT and MSC are working closely together to ensure there are no obstacles to candidates completing the registration examination.
NZATS are working to ensure the registration examination will proceed regardless of lockdown level. Information will be conveyed to training hospitals and the candidates in a timely manner.

2021 ASM/Conference announcement
NZASM21 including the NZATS specific content will now be delivered as a VIRTUAL EVENT on the scheduled dates of October 27 – 30, 2021.
In spite of the challenges over the last 18+ months, the organising committee remain excited about NZASM21. While they are disappointed you will not get the chance to visit Ōtautahi Christchurch in person to enjoy their city, the Organising Committee has put together a scientific program they are proud of.

We have partnered with The Association for Perioperative Practice (AfPP) to provide access to their publications for a twelve month trial.
