Postgraduate Developments

On postgraduate training, local post graduate activities revolved mainly around the trainees on membership/fellowship examinations of the College of Surgeons of East Central Southern Africa, the MMed (Surg) and MMed (Opth) programmes of the College of Medicine. Dr Chiundira passed MMED Surg part 1 and is expected to finish in 2010. Dr Banza will sit for the final COSECSA Fellowship examinations in December 2009. Drs P Kamalo and P Nowa are progressing well with postgraduate training in neurosurgery  and general surgery respectively in South Africa.

In 2009 we hope to recruit more candidates onto the MMed programmes in general surgery, ophthalmology and orthopaedics.

 Several Post graduate courses / conferences were organized or facilitated in the department and its affiliates in 2008:

  • Surgical section of Tropical medicine in Practice course May 2008.
  • Furlong Illizarov External Fixation Course BTCI June 2008
  • AO operating Room Nurses Instructional Course BTCI September 2008
  • SAM / Department of Surgery Surgical Symposium for Rahima Dawood Travelling Fellow November 2008
  • Malawi Orthopaedic Association AGM and scientific conference. September 2007

 Other Postgraduate activities include

  • Fortnightly audit meetings
  • Fortnightly Journal Club meetings
  • Monthly clinical-pathological meetings
  • Regular grand rounds

 The exchange programme signed with the dept of surgery Manneheim University was utilized to send one of our postgraduate trainees Dr Takondwa Itaye to German for 6 weeks to learn skills in ultrasonography.  She benefited greatly from this visit. At consultant level Dr W Mulwafu visited German on an exchange visit. Our dept hosted in exchange a surgeon from German for a similar period. He helped in teaching and training in the department and also conducted a successful endoscopy workshop.

Links with Tubingen University in Germany continued strongly and all three MMED Opth candidates and the consultant were again sponsored on an educational visit to German. In exchange a team from German came to Malawi and assisted with teaching on the MMED programme and service at the eye hospital.
