Ideally, students coming for clerkships should have brought with them a minimum set of equipments from a clinical medical student e.g. blood pressure machine, white coat, tendon hammer, stethoscope etc. Students coming to other consultant hospitals are supposed to have the same obligations except that since these are not teaching hospitals, clerkships would be organised by the supervisor accordingly. The College will identify a supervisor while a student is in Tanzania. Research projects can be done in all hospitals including the 4 consultant hospitals above. It is advised that hospital based studies should be done at the Muhimbili Teaching Hospital.
Community based studies have to be done at any upcountry hospitals.
The College accepts students for occasional periods of study. Research Associates Scholars wishing to conduct research in Tanzania may do so under a special programme of research associateship with the College. The University of Dar es Salaam operates a research associateship scheme for scholars wishing to conduct research in Tanzania. Proposed dates of commencement and completion of the research project should be indicated on the application forms. Clearance will initially be given for a period of up to twelve months only.
