Abstract
Background- Interns train under the department of general paediatrics for a period of two weeks. They are expected to get trained in managing common OPD cases, identification and management of a sick child, develop skills to secure IV access, and also develop their clinical knowledge during this period. The paediatric internship programme focuses in training the interns to be capable of managing common paediatric illnesses independently. Here, we have studied the strengths and lacunas in the current training methods as perceived by the intern.
