ProCare Annual Prize in General Practice

The ProCare Annual Prize in General Practice was established by ProCare in 2003 to recognize and support Māori and Pacific students enrolled in MBChB Part V at the University of Auckland. ProCare is a large primary care network of qualified family doctors (GPs), nurses and general practice teams across Metro Auckland, covering three District Health Boards. The organization is passionate about improving health outcomes and reducing inequalities for Aucklanders, with a particular focus on Māori and Pacific communities. The Prizes are awarded to Māori and Pacific students who achieved the highest overall marks for the General Practice attachment of MBChB Part V. The program is specifically intended to stimulate interest in general practice as a career amongst Māori and Pacific students. Two prizes are awarded annually, each valued at $2,000 NZD. Recipients are selected based on academic performance without requiring an application, as the award is made by nomination and recommendation from the relevant faculty or University committee.
