    Preparation of Hospital Interns to work with Diverse Population

    Introduction

    The beginning year as a doctor or intern has been described in

    different ways as a rite of passage between graduation and early working life.

    The move from medical student to intern is a substantial and demanding

    period in the training of a doctor. In hospital internship, medical interns will

    discover different kinds of people, medical specialties, and junior doctors will

    be applying everything they have learned from med school.

    There are numerous elements people in the medical path consider and

    one of these is their social skills. Health care professionals are expected to

    have a good performance in dealing with the variegated crowd, whether it is

    on their co-workers or patients. In order to be an effective medical

    professional, one must master the art of dealing with a variety of individuals.

    However, not everyone pursuing the medical field is gifted with the

    ability to communicate to different types of people. Diversity in the workplace

    generates ethical challenges such as ethnic and cultural differences,

    differences in language and communication, and generational and age

    differences.

    The Philippine Community Internship Program was established in the

    1970s as a part of the Comprehensive Community Health Program. The PCIP

    was implemented with the intent to supplement the country’s (Philippines)


    thinning health workforce while providing training to student doctors. The

    program’s intentions are noble, tackling the lack of physicians in under served

    communities while providing training to medical interns . However, inherent

    characteristics of the program pose ethical and legal challenges for medical

    interns. One study found that the most common issues experienced by

    students were professionalism, confidentiality, the doctor-patient relationship,

    informed consent, and the doctor-peer relationship. Further, the mistreatment

    and abuse of medical students by more senior staff can also add to these

    ethical challenges. In the Philippines, these challenges seem to be magnified

    in light of several inherent limitations of the community internship program

    (Capinpuyan & Miguel, 2019).

    Medical education is challenging and demanding. Medical students may

    face academic challenges that render them more vulnerable to mental

    illnesses (such as stress and anxiety) than other university students.

    Furthermore, it may impair students behaviour, diminish learning and the

    impact continues after graduation, towards professional life and may extend

    to patient care (Abouammah, Irfan, Marwa, Zakria & AlFaris, 2020).

    Through hospital internship, medical students will be able to determine

    the difference between studying the procedures of patient-care into putting it

    into practice with real-life patients. Aspiring physicians in their internship will

    experience difficulties in their physical & mental health and their ethics will be

    challenged. Through this study, researchers will aim to discover the physical
    and mental preparations of incoming hospital interns upon encountering

    obstacles to working in a diversely populated field.

    RESEARCH QUESTIONS

    This study will aim to discover the preparation of hospital interns to work with

    diverse population. Specifically it will sought to answer the following questions.
