Undergraduate Training
Ukwanda pursues an “immersion model" where students are exposed to the realities of working/caring in a resource-limited environment. Undergraduate students receive training at several rural regional hospitals, smaller district hospitals and clinics in the Western and Northern Cape. They are supported by an Ukwanda coordinator in each of the professional programmes. Interprofessional education and collaborative practice is one of the focus areas for student training and multiple opportunities are made possible at the Ukwanda sites to facilitate collaborative engagement around patient assessment, management, and community engagement.
Students are from the following professional disciplines:
- Dietetics (Human Nutrition);
- Physiotherapy;
- Occupational Therapy;
- Speech-language and hearing Therapy;
- Medicine (MBChB).
