Intern guide – ‘Surviving the First Month of Internship’
The DiT Committee has developed an informative and practical guide to surviving your first month of internship and commencing your employment in the public health system. We think this will be a useful document for interns, especially during the busy and stressful first few weeks. View the Surviving the first month of internship guide.
