Quick Summary
A rotating internship in medicine is a period of supervised practical instruction where an intern works in various departments, such as medicine, surgery, obstetrics, and pediatrics, in succession. This contrasts with a straight internship, which focuses on a single specialty. Internships, in general, are a phase of learning practical skills within a chosen career. They are a form of training that provides hands-on experience, akin to apprenticeships or externships.123
