These papers for the Diploma of Sexual and Reproductive Health can be taken at Auckland or Otago University, or a mixture of papers can be taken from both.
You can choose to enrol to take the five individual papers as "Certificate of Proficiency".
The Diploma of Sexual and Reproductive Health is the requirement for vocational registration with the NZ Medical Council.
If you would like to go on to obtain a University qualification, such as a Diploma or Master of Medical Science, as well as obtaining the Diploma in Sexual and Reproductive Health you need to enrol differently. You can not usually cross credit different papers from different universities.
For example, a Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Science consists of the five papers prescribed for the Diploma in Sexual and Reproductive Health plus three more papers including a compulsory research methods paper. This will give you an eight paper Post Graduate Diploma in Medical Science from the University of Auckland or Otago.
A Master of Medical Science, instead of a Diploma, is also possible if you have a college membership and get University Dean's approval for the college membership to be considered equivalent to a Post Graduate Diploma.
