Testimonials
The clinic was fantastic. The preceptor was incredible and I learnt a lot from him.
I have enjoyed this placement and the teachings from all staff here including my preceptor who clearly cares about what he does which is a credit.
All the doctors were enthusiastic about taking opportunities to teach procedures and answer questions - encouraged me to use initiative.
