Abstract

  The Internship during the graduate medical education course (MBBS) provides the much needed clinical training and exposure to the medical trainees. It also prepares them for their medical career and fulfills the requirements for their graduate training and degree. Introduction of a major clinical posting of 3 months duration (depending on the intern’s choice/availability in the specialty departments) during internship may facilitate the interns to get a better exposure to their chosen specialty, medical problems, management & technology. 3 or 6 month long major posting(s) at end of the curriculum might be welcome as it would facilitate learning about medical conditions in details and give a good exposure of the countries’ medical problems. The extended clinical posting system will give better insight to doctors and inspire them to choose a specialization accordingly. The proposed system of extended 3­month clinical posting along with the integration of the MBBS­MD course and the efficient implementation of the National Rural Health Mission (NRHM) shall also help to strengthen the community and specialist service in our country, along with providing an excellent career opportunity for young medical graduates.
