Welcome to the first episode of the series. We’re honoured and thrilled to be speaking to Dr Lizemarie Wium. Dr Wium is a specialist physician working at the internal medicine department of Kalafong Hospital in Pretoria. She has a special interest in obstetrics and is a part of the Society of Obstetric Medicine South Africa (SOOMSA). She completed her MBChB at the University of Free State and MMed in Internal Medicine and FCP(SA) at the University of Pretoria. She was further trained in obstetrics by Professor Catherine Nelson-Piercy at the Guy's and St Thomas Hospital Trust, London in 2018.

This episode will cover Dr Wium’s journey through medicine, the challenges she faced, her motivation as well as advice for medical students and of course how she has integrated internal medicine with obstetrics.

Enjoy the episode!
