A professional training that is based upon an individualistic orientation does not prepare physicians to function successfully as members of large and complex organisations. The general observation that qualitative leadership in the healthcare industry lags behind that in other industries by about 10–15 years.
To assess the self-perceived need for management training among interns.
To study the preferred format for educational intervention among medical students in fostering the management related competencies.
This Cross-Sectional study was done at Mysore Medical College, Mysore with the data obtained from 2 batch of Interns, using pre-tested quesionnarie and 7 point likert scale. SPSS 19 was used. Descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficient was used.
Majority of the Interns have Post graduation as their career preference. Knowledge Gap is maximum regarding medical records and hospital budgeting and least regarding communication need within a team. Career Preferences had an impact on the management need training among medical students. Most of them opine that training should start from first professional itself and it should be theory, hospital and practical based.
