So about this heroes day, every profession thinks heroes are on their side, including we in medicine, teachers , you can imagine even politicians call themselves heroes ๐๐
๐About the Medical Internship Debate.
The whole confusion starts at Calling that activity internship.
What medics go through during that period is more than what the phrase internship can describe, "it's a Profession Service to the Country" and if you care about the future of the health system of this country, such a service is worth appreciation.
We need to appreciate that this activity itself is risky, costly and has a deeper impact on the psychological, professional and community life of future medics, if we make such activity stressful, what are we trying to achieve as a country? Are we trying to create a pool of Medics who won't care, that's dangerous! Perhaps it's high time we renamed it, to remove the confusion.
Something like Mandatory Post University Medical Service Scheme (MUMS) with a main objective Of; Gaining skills through service.
You will realize that many of us have gone through the hands of what people call Medical interns, they held our life at that one particular moment, and if it was not them maybe we wouldn't be alive.
Medical interns deserve appreciation for the service they give to the people of our country and the cost of undertaking a medical internship should be shared between the Medic and the government (a win-win situation is sustainable).
@marvin_lule68 Maybe they just let them remain students, and government should find a way to employ people that will be running these hospital, expecting a student as they want to call them to ran a hospitals is insane
