| description | Training of medical interns at the Middelburg district hospital has been introduced as part of the mandatory 6 months’ rotation in Family Medicine department since 2021. This report provides an overview of what has been attained in 2021 and 2022. It covers various aspects of the activities medical interns have been exposed to in the Middelburg hospital and the surrounding primary health care clinics.
Contribution: Sharing experiences of family medicine training for medical interns in district hospitals is essential because the 6 months’ rotation is new for most family physician trainers, especially those in small hospitals and primary health care clinics. Taking into account the paucity of evidence on the topic, the report brings current information that supports that training medical interns in district hospitals and primary health care clinics prepares them to be comfortable and competent clinicians for the generalist work during the community service year ahead. |
