This specialty training program is designed to increase the number of well-trained family
medicine physicians in Lesotho who have the knowledge, skills, and commitment needed to
meet the health care needs of the Basotho people. Training involves registrars working directly
with practicing faculty and emphasizes the development of the full spectrum of clinical skills and
knowledge to manage very ill in-patients of all ages. Furthermore, knowledge of public health
essentials, such as applied epidemiology and basic biostatistics are taught so as to facilitate an
integrated view of family medicine and community health. The combination of high quality
clinical, management, and public health training will provide the necessary skills and knowledge
needed for graduates of this program to serve as leaders in Lesotho’s district hospitals as well as
to equip registrars to successfully manage community-oriented practice in a decentralized health
care system.
