Background: In India internship training is considered to be a period of learning entrusted with clinical responsibilities. This study helps to know the self-reported preparedness of fresh graduates for internship as well as trained interns to be a practicising primary care doctor. Methods: Cross sectional study was done in a tertiary care teaching hospital of South India. Thirty five interns who completed training and thirty five fresh graduates entering internship were randomly recruited for the study after getting ethics committee approval. Data was collected in a structured questionnaire which assessed the confidence levels of the participants in performing various skilled activities. The feedback regarding training and suggestions were also received. The data was analysed by SPSS 16. Both the groups were considered to be equally competent and hence non parametric test for 2 independent samples Mann Whitney U, Chi square test and Fisher's exact test was done. Results: Apart from delivering health talks in local bodies and prescribing oral contraceptives there was significant difference (p<0.05) in the confidence levels of interns who completed training. Total scores of trained interns were greater than that of fresh graduates (p<0.001). 97.14 % participants wanted cardiology as a compulsory area of training for internship. Suggestions for improvement include orientation classes, exact procedure demonstrations, more seminars and active involvement of interns in management of the patients. Conclusions: Internship training is effective in this tertiary care hospital and trained interns make better doctors than fresh doctors as the theoretical knowledge gained is put into practice.

Obtaining informed consent of the patient or relatives, breaking unpleasant news to the significant relatives, informing about critical illnesses to patients, all require good amount of communication skills.…”

“…articles reflecting the feedback of experts in the field of medical education that lack of integration in the traditional curriculum has resulted in poor learning outcomes making them incompetent in clinical skills and students have informally indicated that the basic science subjects do not seem to be relevant in their future medical practice [1][2][3][4]. Evaluation of the curriculum by students is a very important and logical step which is recommended as part of the teaching learning process as they are at the receiving end [5].…”

Background, context and the purpose of the study: Majority of the Indian medical colleges are following conventional discipline based curriculum with least interdisciplinary integration. Medical educators are of the opinion that lack of integration in the traditional curriculum has resulted in poor learning outcomes and students perceive the basic science subjects as irrelevant during their clinical practice. The present study was undertaken to explore interns' perception about the relevance of preclinical curriculum during clinical practice.
