MCNZ Preliminary Competence Inquiry - 12 Month Trial Period

To view questions and answers about the Preliminary Competence Inquiry (PCI) please click here.

From the Medical Council of New Zealand:
"The PCI is a process which utilises broad-based inquiry. Unlike performance assessment it does not attempt to assess competence concerns about a doctor.

We are undertaking the PCI as a pilot for a 12-month trial period beginning 1 February 2011."


If you have any questions on the PCI or would like to know more about the pilot please contact either:
