in Karnataka internship and rural service is same or different
Hello,
Mbbs is a 4.5 year long course with all years being of duration 1 year and 3rd term being of 1.5 years.
This is followed by a 1 year compulsory internship at the hospital affiliated to the college. Usually stipend is given during internship (it is around 22k per month for interns in karantaka)
Rural service is a bond one has to sign at the time of admission to serve the rural parts if karnataka for 1 year. It is a paid service and the mbbs doctor is considered as a junior resident at the phc or district hospital.
I.e both internship and both are different.
Hope this helps
