Am I correct that “Internships” have mostly disappeared
from modern medical education?

Nope,
still a bread and butter rite of passage

Re: Internships

Let me re-phrase my question.

Is it correct that most modern medical internships are the first year of a longer specialized residency at the same hospital?

My impression is that few M.D.’s these days do a one year internship and then move straight into a practice, or move on to do a residency at another hospital.

Also, at UI, all third year Med students spend their entire year doing clinical rounds.

Is that how it works at other Med schools?
