Keywords:
Compulsory, medico-legal trainingAbstract
The internship is a phase of training wherein a medical graduate will acquire the skills and competencies for medical and health care practice under supervision in preparation for independent, unsupervised primary care. The learning methods and modalities have to be initiated and inculcated during the M.B.B.S. course, with a larger number of hands-on sessions preceding actual clinical training. Currently doctors after graduation either join government service or go for private practice, or proceed for postgraduation/further studies. These medical graduates are mostly not exposed to any training on medicolegal issues during their internship which can have serious consequences in their 1,2 practice of medicine.
