RCSI Bahrain Intern Award

Every year since 2015, an intern is selected to be the recipient of the Intern Award after an extensive evaluation. The selection of the Intern Award winner is based on information received by consultants, residents, co-workers, colleagues, and fellow peers through a Multi-Source Feedback (MSF) evaluation. The feedback focuses on clinical skills, communication, collaboration with other healthcare professionals, professionalism, and patient management which is then collated and analysed by the Quality Enhancement Office.
