Reviews:

If we had advanced resources with supervisors who are involved in the CMSA exams,it would be great.There’s plenty of study material with very limited guidance and expertise. There is also diverse clinical experience with very humble patients (https://za.indeed.com/cmp/Nelson-Mandela-Academic-Hospital)
