Failure in Medical School Part 1/2 | The Wits Students’ Physician Society

“Failure is not the opposite of success it’s part of success”

As medical students we barely talk openly about failure. Fortunately,we are joined by 2 amazing Dr’s in the making (Emmanuel KS Bope, GEMP 2 & Boiketlo Sebate, GEMP 1) who’ve conquered the mountain of failure!
