Abstract
"The Board has considered a number of matters relating to education and training in its bid to ensure quality health standards. The standard generation function in terms of the South African Qualifications Authority requirements has resulted in the production of documents for undergraduate training in medicine and dentistry. These will be finalised through the Board’s structure and general consultations and submitted to SAQA before the 2009 deadline. A milestone in the establishment of a register of mid-level health workers in medicine has been achieved through the introduction of Clinical Associates. The first group of students have been enrolled at Walter Sisulu University. The evaluation guidelines have been developed to evaluate other training institutions that may be interested in the training of Clinical Associates"
