Paediatric students applauded

UCT's Department of Paediatrics and Child Health recently celebrated students who successfully completed their College of Paediatricians exams.

Departmental head Professor Heather Zar (in blue in the back row, photographed with some of this year's students) commended these students on their achievement and praised their families and friends as well as the departmental staff who supported them. "We have good reason to be proud of these results this year – it is an incredible achievement. We also had a very successful through-put rate."

Each year the students who sit these exams, which include the fellows of the African Paediatric Fellowship Programme, are lauded for the incredible effort they put into qualifying in their chosen field of specialisation.
