In South Africa, becoming a medical doctor typically takes about seven years of education. This includes a minimum of six years for a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) degree, followed by one year of internship. After completing the internship, graduates must also complete a year of community service before they can practice independently.

Where can you study cardiology in south Africa?

You first need to study and become an ordinary Doctor, then you specialise for two years and study Obstetrics and Gynaecology to the level of a Masters degree. To become an ordinary doctor you must be accepted into one of the many medical schools in South Africa. And of course you must find the money to finance the fees, books and your living costs for six years. To be accepted into a medical school you need to attain good marks in your matriculation examination at school, or you need to already have some university credits relevant to medicine, like maths, chemistry, physics. The actual marks required to qualify for medical school vary according to your race due to a skin-colour quota system in operation. Black South African applicants require much lower marks to qualify than Indian South Africans or Coloured South Africans. White South African applicants require extraordinarily good marks to qualify.
