Dunedin Hospital will lose its right to train junior cancer doctors next month because it soon won't have enough staff to teach them.
Te Whatu Ora's Southern region currently has three Radiation Oncologists, but one is resigning in November.
As a result, the Royal College of Radiologists will withdraw the hospital's training accreditation on October the 2nd.
The hospital's four registrars, or trainees, will be able to finish their clinical year in Dunedin before moving to another centre.
Association of Salaried Medical Specialists executive director Sarah Dalton spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
