Internship Reviews

Rural Allowance: No comment yet.

Doctors Quarters:

• Didn’t stay at DQ.
• The DQ’s are well kept (especially the ones outside hospital) but problem is you will need to buy a car very early because there is no Uber/bolt and the Cabs are not very reliable with time and you wouldn’t wanna be late for work everyday.

Academics:

• Department dependent.
• It depends really on the rotation, some rotations are better than others…Paeds, Surg, O&G, anaesthesia are amazing and the other ones were okay I would say.

Supervision:

• Mostly on your own.
• Same with academics, it depends on the rotation.

Clinical Exposure:

• You will learn from everyone else except your MO on call.
• The exposure is really good, this is a Regional hospital which caters for Ladysmith and is a referral for Estcourt and Bergville so you see a lot of cases.

Social Scene:

• Didn’t attend much.
• They are fair, you have all your normal restaurants like McD, Chicken licken, Nandos, KFC and the likes but not a lot of 5-star and there are clubs nearby for the people who like partying.

Additional Comments:

• Very chilled place to do internship
