.:: About the Internship Program ::.

The prime aim of post-graduation internship training is to provide a thorough clinical exposure to our students in a setting of supervised clinical practice in order that interns attain the optimal knowledge and skills for the practice of medicine in general and that they develop proper medical attitudes and ethics in accordance with the teachings of Islam. Internship is a period of transition from medical student to a qualified physician; a process through which an Intern acquires more confidence in handling patient, develops professional acumen, and applies the knowledge and skills in the practice of medicine appropriately.

Interns are 7th year medical students and are holder of MBBS degree after successful completion of the medical curriculum at the college of medicine but still have limited clinical experience. They are not licensed by the Saudi Commission for Healthcare Specialties (SCFHS) at this stage.
