Abstract

Background: It is our responsibility towards the interns*of Compulsory Egyptian Medical Training program (CEMT) to improve their knowledge and skills to be on the right way for professionalism, and this internship conference (IC) will help us for great achievement in short time before choosing their interested medical fields.
Context: IC will serve at least 200 learners at Al-Azhar University Hospital, New Damietta (AUH-ND) as well as all interns in all university hospitals well be informed and can be active participate in the conference activities. Which means that all graduates of Egyptian medical school can get great benefits from IC.
Design and implementation: Scientific program of IC will be designed and published containing all the details of scientific sessions, per congress and parallel workshops and competition sessions.
Assessment: Pre congress online registration sheet or survey will include 3 multiple choice questions (MCQ) for each scientific session and workshops as well as open question to have the intern’s expectations of each session, workshops and IC in general. At the end of each scientific session or workshop 3 quizzes in the form of MCQs and feedback satisfaction survey including recommendations will be sent to each intern to improve the quality of IC. And attendance of 75% of the scientific session credit hours and actively participate at workshops is a must to have the certificate of IC.
Challenges:  we think that we will face challenges as time (very big program), financial support, arrangement for workshops at skill lab and struggling or disengaged intern. But we will study and arrange everything of the program to have the best conference ever.
