Throughout those challenging times they face many challenges which significantly impact their professional lives as well as their transitional experience. This study aimed to identify the transitional challenges experienced by IDs in Vanuatu. This qualitative study was conducted using a phenomenological approach whereby data collection is done through semi-structured in-depth interviews. Ethical approval was obtained before the commencement of this study. Twenty-seven participants were IDs of Vila Central Hospital and Northern Provincial Hospital in Vanuatu who were either current IDs and had worked for more than 6 months or had completed internship within the past 2 years. The willing IDs were consented on paper before they participated in the interview. The interview data was then transcribed verbatim and interpreted thematically. The participating IDs in the study were between the ages of 27 and 36 years old. Twenty two were current interns while the remaining five had recently completed their internship and now working as registered doctors. Three subthemes were identified as challenges through thematic analysis in this study; intern’s welfare not met; different medical training institution; and transitional shock. Those subthemes were later categorized. The study findings have identified that intern’s welfare needs improvement along with diverse training medical schools, and the transitional internship encounters were significant challenges experienced by IDs. There is indeed a need for healthcare providers, medical leaders, and relevant stakeholders to recognize and address these challenges.Mackenzie SitobataMasoud MohammadnezhadTaylor & Francis Grouparticleintern doctorregistered doctortransitionchallengesvanuatuSpecial aspects of educationLC8-6691Medicine (General)R5-920ENMedical Education Online, Vol 27, Iss 1 (2022)
