Reviews
DQs are available but it is usually handed down from one person to the next, so the accomodation office takes months to actually allow you a room. Also, while you wait you get a room at the nursing quarters which is not up to standard. Blocks A&B is a room with an ensuite bathroom. CD Blocks are apartments with kitchens.
How was the level of supervision and teaching?
Moderate.
How was the clinical exposure?
Good.
Was any of the following available?
Yes. X-Rays, Blood Gas Machines, Ultrasounds, CT-Scans, MRI Scans, Nuclear Studies, NHLS.
Academics available?
Diplomas, Fellowships, Courses (BLS/ACLS/ITLS/ATLS) etc.
Did you have a social life? What kept you busy/entertained?
Yes I was able to have a life outside of work during some rotations. Internal med was not one of those rotations, neither was surgery.
Any general comment/advice?
DGMAH expects interns to do the grunt work most of the time, the things no one wants to do…
Overall Satisfaction with placement?
5/10
