Abstract
DANIELS, A D; BUYS, H; DUNKLEY, R and WILMSHURST, J M. The African Hospitalist Fellowship. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2017, vol.107, n.11, pp.945-947. ISSN 2078-5135. http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/samj.2017.v107i11.12718.
The African Paediatric Fellowship Programme is rolling out a training course for newly qualified paediatricians to equip them with the leadership skills to function in complex general paediatric settings. The care of children in Africa carries its own unique demands, from the layering effects of multiple conditions through to establishing and sustaining services under severe resource constraints. This novel training concept aims to strengthen confidence and knowledge in areas that are not priorities during standard general paediatric training. The skills gained are considered of great relevance in assisting general paediatricians to achieve their full potential in their careers.
