RAMOOLLA, B et al. Medical internship training in South Africa: Reflections on the new training model 2020 - 2021. SAMJ, S. Afr. med. j. [online]. 2023, vol.113, n.5, pp.1195-1198. ISSN 2078-5135.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/SAMJ.2023.v113i5.16784.

The South African (SA) medical internship training programme model was recently revised to extend training into the primary care platform. In this article, we reflect on the experiences of training under the new model from an intern perspective. We use these reflections to make recommendations to the Health Professions Council of SA on how to further improve the training model by implementing systems that guide and empower the intern doctor practising at a primary level of care.
