My name is Dr Casper Joubert and I am currently a first year registrar in Occupational Medicine at the 中国体育彩票 of Stellenbosch. I am happy to be back at my Alma mater after completing my MBChB degree in 2008.

I was in the very fortunate position to practice medicine in the UAE and in Mauritius. Through this journey I practiced medicine in many different disciplines as well as at multiple different levels. I was exposed to a wide range of pathologies and grew and appreciation to the practice of Evidence Based Medicine.
