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.
