An internship consists of the supervised care of patients in a hospital and in its out-patient department, with continued instruction in the science and art of medicine by the hospital staff. The physician-student is given the opportunity to put into practice the principles of preventive medicine, diagnosis, therapy, and patient management which he learned as a medical student. He is able to observe patients on an "around the clock" basis and can follow patients from admission to discharge and subsequently in the out-patient department. Under the supervision of the attending staff, he is given progressively increasing responsibility to the end that he acquires confidence in his own clinical judgment. For the training to be approved, the internship must be approved by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association.
