How To Become A South African Doctor | SA Medicine
Переглядів 13 тис.3 роки тому
A lot of students don't know how long Medicine really is and how tough the process of becoming a doctor can be. In this video I explain the entire process, from start to finish of becoming a South African doctor. I explore the requirements needed from school, the length of time it takes to graduate university and the process of training as a junior doctor in the South African hospitals. *Discla...
Please Upload😭😭
Thank you so much for your video it really helped me to go on with my studies on becoming a doctor. My friends use to say i will be very old of i want to become a doctor because it takes a long time but for your video was very helpful 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Hi. How much can you get paid while studying and working
Can you give me your contact
How find residency in south africa bro
ARE YOU GONNA MAKE MORE VIDEOS
Thank you so much ❤️. This was indeed helpful 😊
Bro, where are you? We are waiting for your videos man. Come on.
I only just finished with uni for the year and haven't had a holiday since July but I plan on editing and posting soon now that I have time. Apologies for the delay!
Hii there this is a bit off topic but do you maybe know if medical secretaries wear scrubs in south africa?

hi I am in high school in South-Africa, I am going school in Afrikaans. The university that you are at, is it only in English or are there different language choices Do you think if I want to become a doctor in SA, will I have to study in English ?
I only know the language policy at Stellenbosch so not sure about the other universities. All our lectures are in English and the majority of our resources are in English however there are sometimes Afrikaans versions of resources. Our tests have both English and Afrikaans options but practical exams (OSCEs) and assignments are done in English. I think all the other universities follow this set-up. So to answer your question, you will have to understand and be able to study the english medical syllabus. There are a lot of Afrikaans people though that come to Stellenbosch not being 100% proficient in English and pick it up quickly.
TRhanks so much for the info i am 12 and want to become a doctor this vid means the world to me tysm
Hello sir How are your ?
Thank you so much, I'm from China and I have my bachelor degree and master degree in clinical medicine, I'm suffering in getting a doctor degree in neurosugery. I really want to be a surgeon in South Africa, so is it possible for students graduated from international universities like me to be a doctor in SA? Hope to get some feedback fome you.
I’m sure it is possible to come specialize in South Africa however I’m not sure about the process of applying for specialty training and how it differs for international graduates. Neurosurgery in itself is quite a competitive field. You would have to contact the different universities in South Africa as you do your specialty training through them. Hope this helps.
@@matteo_greyling Me too International Medical Graduate Doctor from Somalia 🇸🇴, and really want to Emergency Medicine specialist in South Africa 🇿🇦, is there anyway to start that process of training in SA.??
Thanks for sharing

first of all thank u so much for putting this content. I am a final year medical student studying in Emirates and I would like to ask you if u came across anyone who is doing clinical electives in south Africa. I am interesting in pursuing trauma surgery and I'll be thankful for any kind of help
Sorry for the late reply but universities do offer spots to do an elective and you will get loads of experience in trauma surgery. We often come across elective students from various parts of the world on our campus.
😭been waiting 7 months for a new video Matt ...please posttt☹😭
I plan on posting more next year when I start my new semester🙌🏼
I have a south african nationality but I got my education from Pakistan and I gained 71% marks in grade 12th and 86% marks in matric...Am I eligible to get into med school?
Bro what's the tution fee of medicine for international students in Stellenbosch university
Sorry for the late reply but I'm not entirely sure.
Can I contact you on Instagram about this topic?
Hi there, thank you, for the awesome, video, I wanted to find out. If I did not do core maths in high school or Physics or Bio. Can I do a bridging course? And then get into Medicine
What type of doctor are you becoming?
What type of doctor are you becoming?
Hello! I want to ask you some questions in application (due to covid it has been hard) and I want to ask you some questions maybe on Instagram or something?
You can send me a DM on Instagram but it’s been a while since I applied to MBChB so I can’t promise I’ll be the most helpful
Hi great video.I liked and subscribed!Just want to ask ,what were your grade 11 and 12 marks ?
I got 89% in Grade 11 and 91% in Grade 12.
What if I have a personal average of 60% for all my subjects
I’m not sure that an average of 60% will be enough to get in.
Ahhh I'm a first-year MBChB student at Stellies and can't wait for rotations!! Also love the video!
Thank you, goodluck🙌🏼
Ohh Laawwwrd .. ii love you content to the moon and back 👑😢 please do more Mat .. ii have already watched all of your videos and I've never been this fully satisfied by UA-cam Videos .. wonderful content , great camera quality , high definition sound .. and a wonderful job from you all round . Please do add more content .. ❤ .. Goodkuck on your medical journey to come .. and May The Good Lord Richly Bless You Dr Greyling.
Thank you so much, I really appreciate comments like this. At the moment university has been a bit crazy on the work side and we haven't had any hospital rotations worth documenting. But I definitely do plan on making more videos more regularly in the future. 🙌🏼
@@matteo_greyling Appreciated ❤
What was your marks in high skool to get in to university of wits , was it hard ?
Hi ,im from Botswana .I only got my O level results and i cant afford to do A-levels but the Matriculation exemption board website stated that i can also just study for a year in the university from my country of origin so thats what im planning on doing .But i wanted to know if i have a chance of being accepted into med school in SA via this approach .
I'm not too sure about how the application for international students works or how to apply using A levels/O levels as I did NSC exams. This is probably something you would need to phone the admissions office of each university to ask about but I do know of international students who currently study at my university so it is definitely possible to be accepted.
You have to complete 6 AS level subjects of which Chemistry, Physics, Maths, Biology , English and another second language are compulsory. You'll then be able to get matric with exemption. Otherwise you'll have to do 3 A-levels. O-levels are equivalent to the CAPS grade 11 marks so you can only apply with them and get provisional acceptance. To get your final acceptance into university you have to do 3 A-level subject or 6AS level subjects which is equivalent or "superior" to the CAPS Gr.12
We don't have Corenza C here in Germany. I wonder what i can take instead. And is one of those medicines you took an equivalent to paracetamol?
Panado is paracetamol and Corenza C contains vitamin C, aspirin and other contents used for flu symptom relief; I'm not sure of any alternatives to Corenza C. Paracetamol will help with the fever and anything you take when you get the flu with body aches will help. If in doubt contact your local doctor.
@@matteo_greyling - Thanks :)
Thank you I really appreciate your effort of making this video, it helped a lot, just 1 question: Does it count in your favour to be accepted into medicine if you have English Home language in comparison to English First Additional language, because I have Home language, which is obviously harder so I don't get as high marks in it as I would if I had FAL. I don't know if I should leave home language in gr.10 and get my grades up with first additional, or if I should take home language for a bigger chance to get in. Any advice?
I know of a few people that took FAL english and got into medicine. In terms of getting accepted I believe that there is no preference for students who took english as a home language for the universities that offer studying in Afrikaans although I would confirm this with the admissions office. It does, however, help having strong English as the majority of learning and teaching is done in English.
@@matteo_greyling Okay thank you

Can I study medicine without taking physics in high school?
As far as I’m aware, you have to take physics in high school to apply for medicine.
Can I study medicine without taking physics in high school?
Physical sciences is a requirement for medicine at all the universities, I believe, so unfortunately not.
Thank you matteo😭😭❤ I really need to study harder
You're welcome, goodluck🙌🏼
I got my J&J in early feb. I made the tragic mistake of getting the jab while I was on a 24 hour Gynae call at Baragwanath. It started out alright, but by the time I reached the 6-8 hour mark, I had a pounding headache, the muscle aches were crippling, and I had such bad rigors that I could barely write my patient notes. All this, however, pales in comparison to the fact that my joints began to feel like somebody infused shards of glass into them at around the point of the call where I was making frequent trips to and from bloodbank. 37,000 excruciating steps were made on that call. Each one reminding me that I was an idiot ;)
Hectic, that's unlucky
honoured to make the cut
Couldn't leave out your brilliant words of wisdom
Yay you posted!!!😭🔥
Hi i am a Grade 10 learner , i am planning to study at wits university for a OBG/Gyne and was wondering , i have alfa math wil it help me when i apply to wits and lets say get excepted wil it help me in my first year or so with calculus?
I don’t quite know the syllabus at Wits but I’m pretty sure none of the universities have any maths related subjects when you study medicine. There’s a little bit of chemistry and some universities have physics
Thank you
FINNNNNALLLLLLYYYY
