10 year requirement on previous study for medical school

G'day everyone!

New Zealand is planning to open it's first graduate medical school. They are currently deciding on the entry requirements. One requirement under consideration is that your study be within the last 10 years. Currently the University of Western Australia (UWA) is the only graduate medical school that does not have this requirement.

I am hoping to find doctors that also didn't meet this requirement but because of UWA was able to become a doctor. Or doctors that were delayed from entering medical school because of this requirement.

I am trying to provide them with the argument that this requirement is unnecessary and would appreciate some real testimonials. If you're able to help please DM me!

I understand that I can do a year diploma to get past this requirement at most universities. But as a Kiwi I don't believe I can take out a hecs loan and so a year of studying, plus waiting for the next intake added with saving enough to study for 4 years will make the journey significantly longer.

Thanks for any help you can give!
