Although the Health Professions Council of South Africa claims it has developed criteria to allow for foreign-trained medical graduates to apply for internships, those requirements are not accessible to the graduates who may be interested.

During the council’s conference yesterday, it addressed challenges graduates from foreign medical schools faced after returning to SA to practice. The committee is made up of 10 members, including committees of medical and dental deans, medical scientists, postgraduate education and training committees, clinical associates, the HPCSA ombudsman and a medical education specialist.
