What is the medical internship environment like in Finland?

The workload of interns is light or non-existent. They are expected to learn the language and system, examine patients and enter them into the system. There is no distance between the chief doctor and the intern. Mobbing never happens. Everyone takes care to help you. You will not encounter anyone with bad intentions.
