| '''Compulsory Rotatory Residential Internship''' ('''CRRI''') refers to one-year compulsory work in hospitals attached to a medical college or in any other approved teaching hospital, for a period of one year.<ref name=mci>[http://www.mciindia.org/know/rules/rules_mbbs.htm Rules and regulations for medical graduates from the Medical Council of India website] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20030224155803/http://www.mciindia.org/know/rules/rules_mbbs.htm |date=2003-02-24 }}</ref>
| |
| As stipulated by the Medical Council of India, CRRI is essential for the award of the [[MBBS]] degree and full registration in MCI as a physician.
| |
| For Dentists, CRRI is regulated by the [[Dental Council of India]].

|
| == Description ==
| | {{Redirect category shell| |
| An intern (also called an Internee or House Surgeon or CRRI) is posted in all the clinical departments of the hospital on a rotational basis. This gives them the basic clinical exposure to all the specialties.
| | {{R from move}} |
| | | }} |
| The intern is given a monthly stipend. The amount may vary from one college to another, based on ownership by State or private entity. Completion of internship is a necessary pre-requisite for award of the degree, license to practice medicine and for postgraduate studies or higher specialty training.
| |
| | |
| On passing the final MBBS/BDS examination at the end of 4.5 years, a medical/dental student is first awarded a Provisional Registration certificate by the [[Medical Council of India]] or [[Dental Council of India]].
| |
| Permanent Registration certificate along with the "MCI/DCI Registration number" and the final medical/dental degree is given only after obtaining a ''CRRI Completion Certificate'' endorsing the successful and satisfactory completion of CRRI requirements.
| |
| | |
| == Comparison ==
| |
| The CRRI Internship is different from the [[Foundation_doctor|Foundation Training]], Housemanship or Internship in the UK and many other countries, where it is not a compulsory tenure. The house physician or the house surgeon, unlike an intern, works in a particular department of his or her choice and is paid a monthly 'salary' for his work in the hospital (especially, in the UK). The American counterpart is called a "[[Resident (medicine)|resident]]" or a "resident doctor" (i.e., a ''resident physician'' or a ''resident surgeon'', etc.). In some countries, they are also called a "[[senior house officer]]".
| |
| | |
| In India, Internship or House Surgeoncy or House Officership are all considered the same.
| |
| | |
| Post-internship, an MBBS graduate can practice modern medicine independently in India, unlike in the US, where medical graduates have to undergo a number of years of residency in order practice as doctors.
| |
| | |
| After internship in India, medical graduates may pursue independent practice or purse postgraduate qualifications like MD, MS, DM, MCh, DNB, Diplomas and Fellowships that are approved by the [[Medical Council of India]] or the [[National Board of Examinations]] (NBE).
| |
| | |
| == Responsibilities ==
| |
| | |
| Interns are entrusted with clinical responsibilities under the supervision of an experienced clinician. They do not work independently but can treat patients. Interns cannot issue medical certificates, death certificates or medico-legal documents under their own signatures as they do not have an MCI registration number.
