Abstract
Background: Many European-trained doctors (ETDs) recruited to work in rural district
hospitals in South Africa have insufficient generalist competencies for the range of practice
required. Africa Health Placements recruits ETDs to work in rural hospitals in Africa. Many of
these doctors feel inadequately prepared. The Stellenbosch University Ukwanda Centre for
Rural Health is launching a Postgraduate Diploma in Rural Medicine to help prepare doctors
for such work.
