Welcome to the 6-month Family Medicine rotation in Johannesburg Health District. However only half of you will actually be in CHCs/Clinics due to the PHC rotation requirements by HPCSA and variations amongst the three hospitals.
The rotation in Jhb Family Medicine includes e.g., for Chris Hani Bara Interns, a month at CHBHAH Emergency Medicine Department, a month at a District Hospital (Bheki Mlangeni), and four months at a Community Health Centre/Large Clinic (with doctors present and supervising and a more comprehensive rotation including maternity, mother and child care). This four month stint includes two weeks at Chiawelo Community Practice (CCP). CMJAH and HJRMH interns have a slight variation on this.
The Orientation Presentation will share details. See DFM Doctors SOP 2022-06-27 mentioned.
All interns are expected to join the Jhb FM Interns WhatsApp Group for the new rotation.
Interns are expected to join a weekly online Intern Training Meeting.Links for the weekly meeting will also be shared in the WhatsApp Group. All interns are expected to present a topic taken from the HPCSA Logbook. See list here Intern Presentation Topics. See the list of past presentations here. Intern reps must organise the list of planned presentations for the six months.
See the list of articles on Consultation below as well as the consultation assessment tool that may be used for intern observed consultations (based on Jugglers Model).
