The Government is increasing med school intakes by 50 students next year the first increase in almost a decade.
It'll be split across Auckland and Otago universities, with the total first year intake increasing to 589 places.
But Resident Doctors' Association National Secretary, Deborah Powell told Kate Hawkesby it's not enough.
She says there's need for at least another 200, but another 50 is better than nothing.
