The MBChB programme takes six years to complete. As a medical doctor you may work in a public or private hospital, in a community clinic, join a doctor’s practice or open your own practice. There are also opportunities in non-clinical settings where you can work for corporations and innovate new technologies and/or do sales, training and research. After graduating with an MBChB and completing two years’ internship and a year’s community service, you will be allowed by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA) to practise as a medical doctor independently.
