Abstract
As Ramani points out, the patient-side, which may occur in in-patient or ambulatory settings, is the ‘perfect venue for triangular interactions between teacher, trainees and patient’. Linked as they typically are to busy public-sector hospitals, South African medical schools are still in the (some might say, dubiously) fortunate position of offering a wealth of clinical experience to their undergraduates and new graduates.
