Class 11 Biology Summer Internship at Moolchand Medcity.

6 Biology students of class XI B (Nidia Soni, Janis Oberoi, Ishita Gupta, Riya Sandhu, Ronit Vohra and Anushka Chauhan attended a five-day internship programme from 23rd to 27th May, 2017 at Moolchand Hospital. The objective of the internship was to familiarise students with equipment used in speciality hospitals and show

them how medical reports are written. On the first day the group was accompanied by their Biology teacher Ms. Namrata Jit Kaur.

The students had several sessions on mental health where the various psychological and mental illnesses and disabilities were discussed. They were taught how to record case histories and conduct IQ tests. Numerous sessions were held to orient students on how to interact appropriately with patients. Later they were taken to observe the X-ray machine, the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) machine and the CT scan equipment. The occupational therapist of the hospital shared her experience and spoke about the various techniques used to treat differently- abled children. Technical terminologies were taught and the students actively took part in a role play that helped them recap what they had learnt.

The students were assigned to prepare a presentation on the last day of the training. The internship programme was very useful for our students as it gave them a first-hand exposure of the workings of a hospital.
