Understanding the experiences of students who enter the MBChB programme from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds and either succeed or fail in passing the first semester

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 72-77). / This qualitative study was conducted during 2005 in the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Cape Town. Drawing on the theoretical framework of the New Literacy Studies and, in particular, Gee's notion of Discourse acquisition, I sought to better understand the issues that impacted on success for students from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds who entered the MBChB programme.
