It’s a sharing accommodation. Madadeni: the accommodation is a house shared amongst 3-4 people, you share the kitchen, living area and bathroom. Newcastle: you can either get a single room or a sharing duplex. Both Accommodations are within the hospitals.
You are sharing.
Academics:
Newcastle Provincial: Peads and OnG rotations are done in NPH. They’re committed to teaching their interns. You’ll acquire a lot of skills required to survive Com serve in a OnG and Paeds setting. There is theoretical teaching but nothing hectic. Madadeni: My least favorite hospital out of all the hospitals I’ve rotated in. No theoretical teaching and minimal practical teaching. There are times where you work without supervision
Supervision:
Newcastle Provincial 10/10. The staff here is amazing. You’re never alone as an intern. Loved the hospital through and through Madadeni on the other hand is a different story. Sigh!
