Buck did well at Otago Medical School, where he also succeeded in sport, becoming national [[long jump]] champion in 1900 and 1903. He completed his MB ChB in 1904, and an MD six years later. During this time, in 1905, he married Irish-born Margaret Wilson. Their long marriage was often fiery, but was strong, and it was Margaret who often gave the impetus to Peter's career.
 
In November 1905 Buck was appointed as a medical officer to Māori, working under [[Māui Pōmare]], initially in the southern [[North Island]], then in the far north. Between them Pomare and Buck campaigned successfully to improve sanitation in the small northering polololposmall Māori communities around the country.
