Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) | Bachelor's degree | Health & Well-Being | On Campus | 5 years | The University of the Free State | South Africa

The MBChB program is a five-year program, divided into three phases (10 semesters). A hallmark of this program is the integrated modules from the first year (i.e. students’ professional identify as future medical practitioners is formed from the first year) as well as integrated medical science assessments (MIMA examinations). Kovsie doctors graduate with excellent skills, knowledge, and attitudes, based on the required competencies prescribed by the Health Professions Council of South Africa (HPCSA). The program is accredited by SAQA and the HPCSA. In the Faculty of Health Sciences, we believe that we are creating extraordinary magic through creativity and innovation to open up an array of possible career choices. As a centre of excellence, the Faculty of Health Sciences is fully committed to broaden the development process of students through teaching, research, and community service. Community-based education plays an important role, and the faculty is actively involved in community health service at both national and international levels.
