  25. Prof GJ van Zyl: Dean / Dekaan vanzylgj@ufs.ac.za Admission Criteria FACULTY OF HEALTH SCIENCES SELECTION POLICY: SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 2011 M.B.,Ch.B. 1. PREMISES PLEASE NOTE: ADMISSION IS SUBJECT TO SELECTION The present selection policy can be summarised as follows: (a) Any candidate can apply for admission to the first year of the M.B.,Ch.B. Programme (i. e. Grade 12 Learners, school leavers, graduates and diplomats, and people who are already studying for a degree). Candidates from dental faculties or schools will not be considered as long as they are undergraduates. Candidates who are already studying medicine at another university are only selected into the first year of the M.B.,Ch.B. Programme. In exceptional cases only and with the recommendation of the Dean and approval of the School concerned, will a student be admitted to selection in another programme in this Faculty.  Prof. GJ van Zyl: Dean / Dekaan vanzylgj@ufs.ac.za

  26. Prof GJ van Zyl: Dean / Dekaan vanzylgj@ufs.ac.za Admission Criteria (b) A holistic approach is important in the selection process, which is based on a points system that includes academic achievement, cultural activities, and sport. (c) A definite effort is made to accommodate candidates from a disadvantaged academic background who demonstrates the necessary potential and a reasonable ability to attain success in their course. (d) It is admitted that students and doctors are national assets, but students from certain areas in South Africa are regarded as the main responsibility of the UFS for possible selection. (e) A maximum target of 140 candidates (including 11 students from SADC countries*) will be selected in four groups (Eng/Afr, men/women), with an equal number of male and female and Afrikaans and English candidates. Further selection will be considered with the view to registering 140 students. (*Currently Lesotho and Botswana.) (f) Mainly South African students are selected for studies in the medical sciences due to the high costs involved in the training of such students. In respect of the SADC countries*, candidates will be selected in compliance with the policy agreement between the Department of Health and Medical Schools. (*Currently Lesotho and Botswana.) Prof. GJ van Zyl: Dean / Dekaan vanzylgj@ufs.ac.za

  27. Prof GJ van Zyl: Dean / Dekaan vanzylgj@ufs.ac.za (g) Students are required to produce a medical report completed by a medical practitioner, as well as a completed health questionnaire. (h) The medical reports of applicants that have been selected for the M.B.,Ch.B programme will be provided to the Selection Committee in order to ascertain whether there are students with such disabilities that would make them unfit for medical studies. (i) At its own discretion, the Faculty reserves the right to demand immunisation against diseases, from time to time, before admitting students to any further academic year or semester during their studies. As far as the M.B.,Ch.B. Programme is concerned, immunisation against Hepatitis B will occur during training and it is therefore not necessary to be immunised beforehand. (j) All students must remember that if their status is HIV positive, they should be aware, before taking up the selected places, that they would be exposed to patients with infective diseases, which might affect their illness. In these cases, it will be the students’ responsibility to take the necessary precautions to prevent illness due to their positive status and exposure. All students will be expected to fulfil all the rotation requirements for the programme.
