Surgery interns are medical school graduates in their first year of postgraduate medical training, also known as residency. They work under the supervision of senior residents and attending surgeons, assisting with surgeries, performing basic procedures, and managing patient care before and after operations. The internship year is a foundational period where they gain hands-on experience, develop clinical skills, and learn to navigate the hospital environment. Surgery interns often work long hours and are exposed to various surgical specialties as they prepare for more specialized training.
