The West Coast has the green light to train doctors in rural and remote medicine, so what will this mean for health care in less populated regions?
Health NZ West Coast is now accredited to deliver Australian College of Rural and Remote Medicine training.

West Coast Chief Medical Officer Brendan Marshall tells Kathryn the programme could see doctors from here and Australia drawn to Coast.
