Collapse of Academic Medicine
Abstract
The Chairman Prof Clive Rosendorff and the speakers Prof A J Brink, J Metz and O W Prozesky were in agreement. Academic medicine, as we know it in South Africa, is in a crisis. It is close to collapse. They anticipate that if our close-to-moribund medical faculties are not revived, a whole generation of researchers will be absent.
