I really wanted to become a clinical associate once I learned about it from an American KZbinr, they call it Physician Assistant. I fell in love with it immediately. Searched for it here in South Africa and learned that it is Clinical Associate. I did a bit more research and there were a lot of holes in the which is understandable since it is fairly new in South Africa. I can't do it though because of my matric marks and I am currently finishing my Biochemistry and Medical physiology degree which had a bridging course. As to how I got into this programme only God knows honestly 🤯.

[@noma_shobane]

GOD will always lead you into the right path thts for sure. You in tht course for a reason, just trust the process nd plans of GOD 🙏🏻

I genuinely love the information you shared, thank you. I am a first year student at Wits. I am doing BCS. I applied for BCMP at UP and here at Wits. My question is, what marks do think they need in order to accept me?

[@noma_shobane]

Please look at the University prospectus.. it gets updated every year therefore, i cannot give u a straight answer.

[@busisiwemtsweni2060]

I'm a final year BCMP student and it's very intense 😳, but I really enjoy the challenge

[@noma_shobane]

Am glad u like the challenge...all the best ☺️

[@thandomashele401]

Can you transfer from BCMP to med ? Via internal transfer ?

[@busisiwemtsweni2060]

The last time I remember, to transfer from BCMP to MBChB via internal application at UP you need to have more than 6 if not 7 core modules for 1st semester (when the applications are still open) and you need to pass them with distinctions...

[@thandomashele401]

@@busisiwemtsweni2060 okay so when you did your first semester did you have 6/7 core modules orr ? I just wanna make sure I’m doing the right thing 😅

[@busisiwemtsweni2060]

I did an internal application when I was doing my first year which was 2019... My application was rejected because out of my 5 modules (if not 6), only 3 were core modules

Is it good enough to get anyone into GEMP,I ask because I saw BCMP doesn't have Physics, chemistry, molecular medicine and physiology?Is it advisable to do that when your goal is GEMP?I am applying with Wits next year,my choices were BSC, physiotherapy and Health Sciences systems because of those modules I have mentioned above?

[@christinepanashe1994]

Since you're limited, do you ever want to do mbchb because there's so much to learn and not be supervised

[@noma_shobane]

Thrz also soo much to learn in BCMP, the learning never stops. After 5 years of experience as a CA you are technically no longer supervised

[@vuvuleem_2219]

May I ask how much Clinical Associates get paid. May I ask which year you may start medicine if your have the degree and if you have the honors degree?

[@itssimplytomii3370]

Hi. This is a bit late to ask on this video. But I wanted to know if we still need to have a bachelors degree before entering Clinical associates program? And is there a Master’s program for it?

U dnt hve to have a degree before pursuing the program. No master for ths program bt thrz a lot of post grad studies u cn do after depending on what u like in health

Hi. Tell me , do you often work in the Emergency Room and how would you describe the experience cuase I love emergency medicine 😍

[@vuvuleem_2219]

Besides supervision what are the differences between Doctor's Clinical Associates?

[@bonololebepe5065]

ClinA's don't do major surgery like Doctors they are only taught basic sutures.

[@vuvuleem_2219]

So you can't go into the private sector?

[@aphiwemthembumani7494]

After graduating do you also get placed at hospital by the government like how they do with doctors?

[@noma_shobane]

When you have a government bursary in most cases thy do place you in that particular province but when you a private student, you look for your own job.
