Compliance to aseptic precautions was significantly more in female interns as compared to male. Interns adopted good aseptic precautions during their posting.

Results: There was significant gain in knowledge by interns following training programme. Feedback from interns was obtained at the end of the rotation in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The observations were documented, and immediate feedback was given to interns. Subsequently, interns were supervised by residents, nurses and faculty members in labour room, operation theatre and wards. A pre and post test was performed to assess the gain in knowledge by interns. Methods: Hands on training programme was organized for interns that included common procedures performed by them in wards, operation theatre and labour room complex on day to day basis. Training need was identified for interns in the subject of surgical asepsis. Medical interns are often posted to the clinical disciplines, without adequate instructions on surgical asepsis and bio-safety measure. Background: Internship programme for medical interns is meant to develop basic skills and to have experience in management of common illnesses and emergencies.
