Improving the training of health specialists - Madeleine Muller

Dr Madeleine Muller, a family physician at Cecilia Makiwane Hospital in Mdantsane, Eastern Cape, and a senior lecturer at Walter Sisulu University, is part of a team seeking to overhaul training for medical specialists in South Africa.

- 

The team, supported by the Colleges of Medicine of South Africa, the South African Committee of Medical Deans and the South African Academy of Family Physicians, has started rolling out supervisor workplace assessment and teaching training for 550 clinical supervisors in all 10 South African medical universities.

The goal is to equip them with skills to implement workplace-based assessments in postgraduate medical education.

Muller is part of the core group that developed the teaching materials and is dedicated to fostering the growth of emotionally competent, patient-centred clinicians.
