Over the past year, the intern doctors have been deployed in various hospitals in the country where they gain hands-on experience in patient care, diagnosis, treatment, emergency response and clinical decision-making under the supervision of experienced healthcare professionals.
The training has equipped them with practical skills and professional competencies necessary to serve communities across Uganda. Throughout the internship period, these fresh graduates work tirelessly in departments including Internal Medicine, Surgery, Paediatrics, Obstetrics and Gynaecology, contributing to the delivery of healthcare services while strengthening their clinical knowledge and confidence.
