2015 Medical Intern Training Review

The NSWMSC will be making a contribution to the 2015 Medical Intern Training Review. This is your chance to speak up about the internship and how it could be improved for future medical graduates!

The review focuses on four broad areas relating to medical intern training in Australia:

·        The purpose of internship and whether the current model remains valid and fit for purpose.

·        The effectiveness of the internship year in producing doctors with appropriate skills and competencies to meet national health care needs and support generalist practice

·        The role of the internship in supporting career decision making by doctors.

·        Models to support expansion of intern training settings.

The NSWMSC has designed a survey to canvass NSW medical student views on the internship in relation to these four areas.
