Dr. Ann George

Ann George is a South African academic affiliated with the University of the Witwatersrand, where her work is closely connected to Family Medicine and health professions education. Her scholarship centers on decentralised postgraduate training, workplace-based learning, supervision, and the integration of blended and online learning within resource-constrained health systems.

Her research explores the quality of registrar supervision, learning portfolios, feedback practices, and the contextual challenges shaping clinical training in district health systems. Through qualitative and mixed-methods approaches, she has highlighted the importance of faculty development, structured feedback, and equitable access to resources to strengthen primary health care training and improve professional competence.

A distinctive strand of her work examines professionalism and professional identity formation through an African Ubuntu lens, particularly in contexts of social upheaval. By foregrounding race, gender, activism, and cultural identity, her scholarship challenges dominant global narratives and contributes an African perspective to debates on medical professionalism, identity, and socially responsive medical education.
