Five to six interns are posted in the ED at different phases of their internship for one month duration. Clinical exposure and learning by the interns are variable and dependent on various factors like the quality and attitude of supervisors/coworkers,opportunities to learn, the availability of the case, equipment, academic sessions, workload, personal fear of harm to patient and medico-legal issues. To address this factor, we did separate analysis for those who had previous resuscitation experience and found a significant improvement in the knowledge score among this cohort as well.
