Medicine at University of Limpopo UL

The School of Medicine is one of the schools in the faculty of health sciences. At undergraduate level it is offering the degree of Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery. It aim to expand offerings in the future to offer other undergraduate qualifications that are normally offered at medical schools in South Africa; such as the Bachelor of Clinical Practice, for example.
By its nature, it has a strong service delivery focus through health facilities that are part of the clinical training platform. Research niche areas arise out of burden of disease data gathered through service delivery.
Bedside teaching and learning start early on during the training of medical undergraduates.
The school offers post graduate medical specialisation degrees in various disciplines.
All departments co-operate in the offering of the MB ChB degree; whereas each accredited discipline offers postgraduate specialisation degrees (M Med.).
