Observership/Internship is an educational initiative where participants observe daily hospital routines, learn about new medical technologies, and witness best clinical practices. However, participants do not engage in direct patient care, nor do they provide assistance during medical procedures, tests, or surgeries. No hands-on patient care/contact/examination or research involvement is permitted.

  • Observers must strictly adhere to patient privacy and confidentiality protocols.
  • Observership is a non-remunerative, hands-free programme.
  • When training is part of a formal curriculum (e.g., rehabilitation, masters, dietetics), it is termed an internship; however, if it is based on individual interest, it is called an observership.
