NEWS FLASH – PAEDIATRIC NEPHROLOGY OCTOBER 2016

Posted on October 11, 2016

We are proud to announce that Dr Michelo Sharon Choopa, a Zambian citizen, has passed the written component of the CMSA Paediatric Nephrology Sub-Specialization exam. She is now preparing for her oral exam which will take place in Cape Town in the coming fortnight.

 

Dr Choopa has set an example to other fellows – she has worked fulltime (i.e. she did no private practice) to work and study as is required by the Paediatric Nephrology Sub-Specialization Course. She used her time wisely: to study, give lectures and participate in post graduate symposia, write 2 articles which were published in South African Journals, attend and present posters at local and international workshops, courses and congresses.

Finally, she has made good progress with the research component of her fellowship training which is a requirement for sub-specialization in any discipline at the University of Pretoria.

If all goes well she may turn out to be the first candidate who finishes her fellowship in a  paediatric sub-specialization discipline with a MPhil degree! Watch this space.
