My early clinical experience in South Africa was quite varied. After graduating I worked in a major tertiary hospital in Cape Town where we treated patients in various specialised ICU's and wards including Neuro, Spinal, Medical, Orthopedic, Vascular, General Surgery and Cardiac.
I later worked in a rural out patient setting treating various orthopedic, neurological and pediatric patients. Due to the lack of staff and infrastructure I performed home visits, issued patients with various assistive devices and assisted with community education and outreach programs.
I was also privileged to work in a well established private practice in South Africa where the focus was sport injuries, musculoskeletal conditions and general geriatric conditions.
