The Advanced Choice of Employment (ACE) scheme is a collaborative scheme to employ first year House Officers on behalf of all the District Health Boards (DHBs) in New Zealand.

The ACE scheme was introduced in 2003 to simplify the application process for first year House Officer positions and to streamline the appointment process for the DHBs.

The ACE scheme simplifies the recruitment process for first year House Officers by using a centralised match process and simultaneously considers the applicants work place (DHB) preference as well as the DHB’s preference of applicants. The ACE system is beneficial for applicants as they are placed only in accordance with their expressed preferences.
