Reviews
How was the accommodation?
Yes, thieves from Umlazi steal when you are not in your room. They jump over the fence and climb the walls and can enter through the window. The hospital has just recently installed burglar guards after a lot of people have lost their valuables. The securities are no help they are just there by name. Basically it sucks.
How was the level of supervision and teaching?
You find your way through, there’s 10% teaching and supervision with the rest you’re on your own.
How was the clinical exposure?
Good.
Was any of the following available?
Yes - X-Rays, Blood Gas Machines, Ultrasounds, CT-Scans, NHLS.
Academics available?
None.
Did you have a social life? What kept you busy/entertained?
Yes, on weekends you get to go to the beach, nice restaurants and basically there’s much fun around Durban.
Any general comment/advice?
If you’re planning to do your internship in PMMH just be prepared to be on your own, be exhausted and get a lot of experience.
Overall Satisfaction with placement?
8/10
