Rural Allowance: No

Doctors Quarters:

• No comments yet.

Academics:

• Amazing teaching on rounds and weekly academics by both MOs and consultants.

Supervision:

• Always someone available to ask an opinion / phone for a question and don’t have to be nervous about it. Consultants push you to be better but are the most supportive too.

Clinical Exposure:

• You see it ALLLL

Departments worked in:

• Internal Medicine, Emergency Department – I did 6months medicine & 6 months EC. Supervision in both was great. Patient load is always high. Definitely will learn a lot & accredited for diplomas.
• Emergency Department.
• Emergency Department.

Social Scene:

• It is what you make it. If you’re at the hospital then you work in a team of 4, at Heideveld it’s just you and one MO. Lots of regular locums too (usually old MPH comm serves) – good vibes between everyone, post night shift breakfasts are a thing.

Additional Comments:

• “You won’t find a better family than those you make at MPH.
  Comm serve is hard, but you don’t go to work to sit on your ass.”
