CMSA Accreditations: None
Rural Allowance: Yes
Doctors Quarters:
- No comments yet.
Academics:
- “Weekly CPD presentations, but often didn’t happen due to covid.”
- District hospital, so not much in terms of teaching. Academics are in the form of weekly Friday CPD meetings for the whole hospital
Supervision:
- Given a lot of space to work independently (most of the time), but there is usually someone you can contact (may not physically be there) for second opinion.
- Not much supervision, you’re expected to work independently. But there’s always a senior MO you can call for help
Clinical Exposure:
- Exposed to a wide range of conditions and trauma.
- The casualty can get quite busy, so you can get exposure to many different types of conditions
Departments worked in:
- Emergency Department, OPD’s
- Internal Medicine, Paediatrics, Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Anaesthetics, Emergency Department, OPD’s - Most comm serves get to choose their preferred department (depending on the hospital’s needs and number of comm serves requesting that dept). Lots of cutting time in obs.
Social Scene:
- Nothing really to do in the area (besides Sun City and Pilansberg, but they’ve been mostly closed with covid). For anything social/going out, you need to go into Rustenburg.
- Non-existent! It’s a rural hospital in the middle of a village. Most people go to Rustenburg to shop and socialise (about 40 mins away)
