Rural Allowance: No
Doctors Quarters:
- Very very basic. Most move out. But lots of Accommodation close by that’s safe and affordable
- Wouldn’t recommend at all.
- I would not recommend. It’s like an unkempt res. A lot move out.
Academics:
- Consultant in every department, improving as the years go by. Academic presentations are required by interns to facilitate learning.
- The academics are moderate. Interns are required to present topics, but it’s not overwhelmingly academic. Mostly clinical.
- Very academic. They will find a way to teach you either through academic ward rounds or academic presentations. Interns are expected to present in all rotations.
Supervision:
- You’re always supervised however sometimes the level of supervision can be a bit of a problem.
- Supervision is mostly great in Internal medicine and Paeds. During the day in surgery you can find that you and your other interns will have to manage the ward alone.
Clinical Exposure:
- Small hospital with lots of patients and lots of pathology but good balance between work and play. Not overwhelming busy.
- You are exposed to an array of clinical presentations. And the doctors and sister really do guide you in terms of management.
- A busy hospital but you get exposure to a lot of conditions. I’ve learnt a lot with my time here.
Social Scene:
- It’s the East rand so pretty dead but there’s lots of things around if you’re willing to drive 30min out. Carnival city is 10m from the hospital.
- It’s the East rand. Lol.
- Listen. It’s the East. If you’re a big socialite I would not recommend.
Additional Comments:
- Would recommend it.
- I would recommend it. If you want a hospital that is clean, with kind and helpful nursing staff and is not overwhelming busy during calls. I would recommend this hospital.
