To All Young Psychiatrists

I am the chairperson of the steering committee of young psychiatrists. We are in the process of establishing the young psychiatrists interest group of SASOP as well as the young psychiatrist association of Southern Africa. We are very keen on hearing your inputs in this process. I am of the opinion that it is very important that we organize ourselves as young psychiatrists so that we can address issues that affect us as a group and also ensure that we are on par with our other African colleagues who are very well organized and ready to represent Africa in the world. We at the Southern Africa are getting left behind.

Within SASOP there are serious discussions about academic development and the training of psychiatrists in South Africa. I am representing young psychiatrists in the Academic Development Task Team of SASOP and I require your input in this matter on the following areas:
  • Whether the training of registrars is adequate or not
  • Supervision is adequate or not
  • Examinations
  • Any other issue relating to training and examination
Please kindly reply to these issues urgently even if you have given me your opinions on it before. Your urgent response via email will be greatly appreciated. My email address is talatala@telkomsa.net.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO ALL OTHER YOUNG PSYCHIATRISTS IN YOUR PROVINCE
