[Internship abroad: not suitable for all medical students].
Medical students in the Netherlands have the opportunity to follow an internship abroad. However, this is often at the expense of developing their competence, for example in situations where they do not learn abroad what they would have learnt had they followed the Dutch programme. An international internship should, therefore, not be obliged for all medical students.
