Internship Reviews

Rural Allowance: Yes

Doctors Quarters:

• It was not well maintained. Showered would electrocute from time to time. Windows were broken. Termites had eaten part of the door

Academics:

• No formal ward rounds in most rotations. Seniors left us alone on calls. Most learning is self directed. No proper line of authority to report to.

Supervision:

• Only pediatrics and obstetrics had some sort of supervision.

Clinical Exposure:

• Depending on willingness to learn, there are lots of opportunities for learning. Supervision is just quite poor

Social Scene:

• It was in a rural town but social life was available about 30 to 40 minutes away

Additional Comments:

• Mapulaneng is food for those who don’t mind taking initiative in learning. The forced independence helps to build confidence.
