Under the National Medical Commission's (NMC) Competency-Based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum, Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) is designed to transition students from "shows how" to "performs" in real clinical settings. Interns must achieve certification in a specific list of core procedural skills using Workplace-Based Assessments like DOPS. [1, 2, 3]

Core Clinical & Procedural Competencies

During their clinical postings in General Medicine, Surgery, Pediatrics, OBG, and Emergency Medicine, interns are required to independently perform under supervision and log a set number of certifications. Key certifiable procedural skills include:
  • General Medicine: Venipuncture, intravenous (IV) cannulation, arterial puncture, nasogastric intubation, urinary catheterization, lumbar puncture, and pleural/ascitic fluid tapping.
  • Surgery: Suturing minor wounds, surgical knot tying, incision and drainage of abscesses, applying splints/casts, and assisting in minor/major operations.
  • Emergency & Critical Care: Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), airway management (bag-mask ventilation, basic intubation), administering emergency drugs, and triage.
  • OBG & Pediatrics: Assisting in normal vaginal deliveries, newborn resuscitation, and administering vaccinations.
Assessment & Certification (DOPS)
  • Directly Observed Procedural Skills (DOPS): This Workplace-Based Assessment (WPBA) framework is used to evaluate an intern's actual clinical practice. Faculty members observe, provide feedback, and grade the intern’s performance.

  • Logbook Requirements: Every intern must maintain a mandatory logbook or portfolio tracking the number of times a skill is demonstrated or performed. Certain critical procedures require a specified number of successful, certified attempts (typically 1 to 5) before course completion. [4, 7]
