Statement: Dr Wouter Basson
16 November 2015
Stellenbosch University confirms that Dr Wouter Basson is not involved in any capacity in the lecturing or tutoring of students in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences (FMHS) (see report).
Dr Basson was never appointed by or employed by the FMHS in any capacity.
As part of a project in partnership with Mediclinic, limited numbers of fourth- and fifth-year medical students have, since the beginning of 2014, been able to complete their four-week long internal medicine rotations at Mediclinic hospitals, and receive clinical training from private sector doctors.
The specialists at Mediclinic receive accreditation by the FMHS to be able to train and supervise students.
