TI  - Assessment of the Satisfaction Levels of Intern Students
AB  - Aim: Given the importance of internship in emergency medicine, intern doctors are supposed to take more responsibility during this period. They are involved in the admission, examination, planning and implementation of the treatment of patients under the supervision of assistants and instructors. This study aims to specify the expectations and satisfaction levels of Pamukkale University 6th grade medicine students for emergency medicine internship in 2018-2019 academic year. Materials and Methods: The students who completed their emergency medicine internship within one year were evaluated with a questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of the internship period. Without writing their names, the respondents are expected to answer the survey questions designed on a 5-point Likert scale. Results: The study group consisted of 149 students, whose average age is 24.4 and, 68 of the participants were male, while 81 were female. The obtained results reveal that the participants thought they would use their practical knowledge at the end of the internship, that the internship period proved efficient, that they did not have reservations about practising in the emergency department (ED), and that they wanted to be an emergency medicine assistant (p=0.009; 0.014; 0.05; 0.029). Conclusion: The results of this evaluation demonstrate that the emergency medical internship was efficient, and that they were able to apply their practical knowledge. Our study concludes that, following the internship period, their fears for serving in the ED decreased, their communication skills improved, and their desire to work as emergency medicine assistants at Pamukkale University increased.
