That said, i graduated 5 yrs ago and there has been a marked drop in quality of some graduates since, which is where the uproar of extending internship came about.

I agree. The interns from SGU are always lost (no offense), especially the ones from this year.

I also think the internship should be extended but there is talk that the new interns are going to be seriously evaluated and would face more severe repercussions than before.

What exactly do you mean by clueless? They lack clinical competence? Poor fund of medical knowledge??..or is it unfamiliarity with the system?? .what exactly??

I never said clueless. I said they look lost. IMO, Most likely because they don't know the system in Trinidad because they usually get their clinical experience in the UK or the US but other doctors say other reasons. One of them didn't even know what Gravidity and Parity was when presenting a history in O+G.

Sorry about the misquote...was probably a Freudian slip on my part

I graduated from SGU a few years ago and did my internship at EWMSC. I agree that after training in the UK it took some time for me to adjust to how things "work" down here, but there really is no excuse for the O+G incident you referenced.
