Selection, Intake and Eligibility Considerations
Shortlisted applicants complete a compulsory psychometric assessment. Successful applicants then go through medical surveillance, including a physical examination, and document verification. Completing these steps does not guarantee a place.
Successful applicants sign an agreement with the Gauteng Department of Health and do Work Integrated Learning, which includes nights, weekends and public holidays.
If you do not hear back within 3 months of the closing date, treat your application as unsuccessful. For the 2027 intake the closing date was 26 September and no late applications were accepted. Dates for the next intake are published on the portal.
