*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
After three years of medical schools, all students are required to undergo one year of training, called an internship. If you are interested in pursuing a medical career, then you should definitely research this aspect of the system so that you know what to expect. Read below for 7 things you should know about medical internships.

1. Apart from being mandatory to anyone wishing to become a professional in the health care system, medical internships can have a great impact on someone�s career. In general, the more renowned a particular hospital is, the harder it will be to get an internship. However, if you do manage to beat your competition, you will be able to start building a name for yourself a lot sooner.

2. By the time they enroll in medical internships, students already have some basic knowledge of medicine. This year in their lives represents a sort of apprenticeship, where they start practicing various procedures first hand and they are given an opportunity to perfect their skills.

3. During medical internships you are allowed to be curious. Even more, it is highly recommended. Ask as many questions as you need and involve yourself as much as you can. This will ensure you that you will be acquiring a vast amount of knowledge and expertise in a short time frame.

4. It is not uncommon for interns to go through hazing or be the target of jokes and they have to toughen their skins fast and avoid taking anything too personal. It is a rite of passage and being made fun of comes with the territory.

5. At one point or another, any intern will make a medical mistake. This is all part of the training process and, after all, to err is human. Interns should not let such incidents bring them done and they should try to make their mistakes learning experiences.

6. Throughout the duration of medical internships, students will have to sacrifice a great portion of their spare time, including weekends and holidays. During this preparatory year, students will have little to say about their schedules and it is better for them to prepare in advance. Try to straighten out your personal life as much as you can and don�t make any big plans. It will be very unlikely that you will be able to focus on other matters other than your internship.

7. During medical internships, students have to be ready to work at all times. You never know when you might get a call that you are needed at the hospital, so try to adjust to this situation as fast as you can. Always keep a clean pair of scrubs or any hospital equipment you use, so that you are good to go at any given moment.

These are the main things anyone should know about medical internships. This one year of practice is of extreme importance for any future health care professional, so make sure you take advantage of it as much as you can.
