Academic Meetings
Regular academic meetings are held both within the Department and within its component divisions. Visitors are always welcome and in most cases, meetings are registered with the HPCSA for CPD accreditation purposes. Our annual Research Day allows our young researchers to share their work with the Department. An biennial Physicians Conference is held in the summer and is an opportunity for busy physicians in clinical practice to keep abreast of new developments in internal medicine and its subdisciplines.
Departmental Academic Meetings
Departmental meetings are held on Thursday afternoons in Lecture Theatre 2, E Floor Hospital Street, Groote Schuur Hospital. Local and invited speakers present a seminar at 4 pm, and a clinical meeting follows at 5pm. This meeting comprises three 20 minute case presentations. Visitors are welcome to attend. These meetings are accredited with the HPCSA for CPD purposes.
