Internship Reviews

Rural Allowance: No

Doctors Quarters:

• No DQs
• None available

Academics:

• Lots of academic meetings – departmental presentations, CPD meetings, journal clubs, M&Ms.
• Average teaching
  More clinical experience

Supervision:

• There is always someone around that you can ask for help or to show you how to do something. You’re never alone.
• Average. More independent learning

Clinical Exposure:

• You can get as physically involved as you want to with doing procedures
• Learn to be independent

Social Scene:

• Lots of interns, some comm serves, everyone lives pretty close to the hospital, and it’s a student town so plenty of places to go out.
• Bustling social life with the university nearby.

Additional Comments:

• It’s a small town with student vibes, 1 and a half hour’s drive from Joburg and really not a bad place to spend two years of your life. You can make it a great experience for yourself if you go in with a positive attitude and motivation to out yourself out there.
• Not for individuals looking for an academic setting. Good for gaining clinical exposure and experience
