Appointments
Bridging Tertiary Clinical Excellence & Health Systems Research
Dr Jere holds linked clinical and academic appointments at Tygerberg Academic Hospital and in the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Stellenbosch University. The urogynaecology unit provides tertiary pelvic reconstructive surgery and urodynamics, while the MPhil fellowship trains subspecialists for independent practice. That clinical leadership sits alongside health-systems research on surgical access, including national proctorship of the Da Vinci Xi robotic platform.
