My names Mohammed Bhamjee, I am currently serving on the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Witwatersrand. I would describe myself as a dynamic multidimensional surgeon in training, with tireless work ethic. I hold a special interest in surgical education, and its duality and balance with reference to clinical and theoretical acumen. Through my participation with SASSIT I hope to inspire and engineer progressive and forward thinking surgeons from training institutes across Southern Africa with the hope of providing better and more equitable surgical care to all.
Currently doing community service in general surgery at Thelle Mogoerane Hospital. I am passionate about serving people. I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty in helping the next generation of surgeons realise their surgical goals. In my spare time I enjoy playing the sitar/ piano and taking spontaneous trips.
I am a General Surgery Registrar at the University of Witwatersrand. I am a lifelong learner with a passion for general surgery, research and community upliftment. When I’m not in theatre, I participate in local outreach programs and engage in research projects. Platforms Like SASSIT are important to further surgical knowledge and academically prepare future surgeons..
