Tinashe Shoko – Class of 2012

Tinashe Shoko

Tinashe is about to start his final year in a Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBCHB) degree at the University of Zimbabwe.

He finished at Petra with 3 A*s in Maths, Biology and Chemistry. He was the deputy head boy in that year. Tinashe has been involved in a student exchange programme during his time at UZ.

Achievements at UZ:

  • Vice chairperson of Christian Medical Fellowship of Zimbabwe (CMFZ) 2014-2017. CMFZ is a fellowship for Christian medical students and health professionals. We have a variety of fundraising events for worthy causes, medical outreaches, conferences, evangelism and many activities.
  • Standing Committee of Professional Exchange (SCOPE) director 2016-2017. SCOPE is a subcommittee under the Zimbabwe Medical Students Association (ZIMSA). I was part of the pioneers who set up the first ever student facilitated exchange program.
  • Tennis: represented the University at various tournaments.

The Student Exchange Program

Tinashe says, “In our medical school programme at the end of our 4th year, we have a attachment at any hospital in the world (but at your own expense or some are funded). This is called an ‘Elective attachment.’

“Usually for these attachments, you have to facilitate the application process, travel arrangements, accommodation, food etc on your own. Through our student organisation SCOPE, we help facilitate these exchanges and make the process smoother. We have a number of exchange programmes. As SCOPE we help advertise these exchange programmes and in the process host students from other countries who come to do their attachment at University of Zimbabwe.

“For my attachment I am currently in South Korea for one month attached to General Surgery.”
