The MPhil.EM has two target groups:
- The first target group are South African doctors who have not had access to a formal specialist registrar
rotation in Emergency Medicine.
This degree is offered internationally, which provides the opportunity for South African doctors anywhere to
further their careers in Emergency Medicine.
- The second target group are foreign nationals who have not had access to a formal specialist registrar
rotation in Emergency Medicine in their home countries. The MPhil.EM degree may be utilised to demonstrate academic competence,
when a candidate applies to his/ her own Health Board. Foreign nationals interested in this course should refer to the
Emergency Medicine Foreign Information Brochure
The MPhil degree is not regarded as basis for registration as a specialist with the Health Professions Council
of South Africa, but can indeed be registered as an additional qualification.
