Internships
Our internship programme is highly regarded for its hands-on experience and excellent consultant contact time, with protected formal tutorial sessions weekly and numerous opportunities for informal teaching (face-to-face).
With our newly appointed Director of Medical Education, we are poised for even greater success in providing high-quality education to our medical workforce.
