Learners will demonstrate their knowledge and skills in accordance with standards laid down by the University and Professional Board through:

Clinical performance.

Research report.

Integrated assessment:

Competence is achieved, through continuous assessment by demonstrating the ability to achieve the outcomes of the Qualification.

Internal and external evaluation.
Continuous, formative assessments.
Formal end evaluations.

Before the M. Med. qualification is conferred on a candidate, the institution must be convinced that he/she for a period of four or five years, according to the requirements of the department concerned, has successfully occupied a full-time training post in the training hospitals of the Faculty of Health Sciences of the institution, or another institution that is recognised by the University as equal; received theoretical and clinical instruction; was registered as a learner at the institution for the prescribed period and successfully passed the prescribed institution examinations – written, oral, practical and/or clinical, as prescribed. If a candidate attains a qualification that can be registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, the final year of residency at the institution may be completed in a specialist post. Only a registrar’s post is recognised as a training post by the Health Professions Council of South Africa. The duration of the period of training is calculated from the day of registration as student at the institution. However, if a student registers during the prescribed registration period of the institution, such registration may be deemed to be valid from the first of January.

Assessment documents are moderated to ensure that:

They conform to the scope and context of the competency as stipulated in the qualification.
They are constructed in such a way that the Assessor assesses the critical outcomes applied, during the Learner’s activity performances, towards achieving an outcome.

Assessments are:
To include confirmation of the Embedded Knowledge component to ensure that the Foundational Competency is achieved.
To be verified by Internal Verifiers to ensure valid, credible, true and fair results.
