Most of students were in agreement about learning from consultants, resident doctors (3.65±1.20, 3.98±0.86 respectively) and by self-learning (3.91±0.94). Most of the students disagreed that they had negative experiences during internship period (summative score 32.53/65) Agreement was observed about no time for PG entrance exam preparation (3.88±1.23), so working hours has to be reschedule to accommodate study hours (3.88±1.3).
