THEY WERE ALSO INTRODUCED TO SASOP
AND PSYCHMG AS ORGANIZATIONS TO
ENCOURAGE INVOLVEMENT AT AN EARLY
STAGE OF THEIR CAREERS. A HIGHLIGHT
CERTAINLY WAS THE PRESENTATION AT
THE RFS DINNER ON FRIDAY EVENING
WHEN DR KIM DOMINGO SHARED HER
TALK ON THE “MEANING OF WORDS”.
We had a very lively group this year who engaged
fully with the process, making it all the more
enjoyable for both mentors and mentees!

3. REPORT ON REGISTRAR FINISHING
SCHOOL 2018
Dr Lavinia Lumu
The Registrar Finishing School (RFS) was held for the
6 th year running during November 2018 in Sandton,
Johannesburg, and has become an important fixture
on the SA Psychiatry calendar. The workshop was
generously sponsored again by Lundbeck, Adcock-
Ingram and SASOP/PsychMg. This time around saw
a record number of attendees (36) comprising
registrars in their final year of study or those who have
recently qualified from all over South Africa.
There were thirteen speakers drawn from both
the public and the private sector who acted as
“mentors” to our younger colleagues – the idea was
to give registrars an idea of what to expect when
entering private practice, or when remaining in the
public sector as consultants.
