Abstract

Internship is the bridging stone for medical graduates to become medical professionals. In Sri Lankan context there’s a delay of nearly one year from completion of the medical degree to the commencement of internship, which is not ideal. The aim of this study was to ascertain the effectiveness of a training programme devoted to revise the essential clinical skills of pre-intern medical officers in Sri Lanka.
