I was a Med student at Oxford for a month! Reflecting on my Ophthalmology elective program.
I was selected for a medical elective in ophthalmology at Oxford University in 2022. The elective involved spending a month amongst some of the biggest names in ophthalmology, learning new surgical skills and exploring Oxford in my free time. It was an incredible experience and one I would recommend to any South African or international medical student in whichever discipline they may prefer.

After checking in at Tau game lodge, we set out for our first game drive. We saw some predators, but few had the energy to even move a limb! The next day held some exciting events, like a lioness charging at a zebra or the multiple leopard we saw. The highlight of the day had to be the lioness taking down a small warthog (bushpig), after charging at an entire family. The pig could not have been...
