Introduction: Indonesian Medical Doctor Internship Program, or internship, is a preregistration professional training program for medical school graduates in Indonesia. The candidates have to wait about six months to participate in the one-year internship program which is becoming mandatory for the application of medical license. By laws, medical practice by internship program candidates during internship waiting period (six months or more) is forbidden. In the context of sharia, some scholars considered these medical practices as haram. The study was first to investigate the medical practice preference during internship waiting period and the related factors.Method: 107 respondents were taken from Moslem doctors that passed national board exam. Religiosity was measured using adapted DUREL (Duke University Religion Index) questionnaire and reported as DUREL Score. University origin religion base (UORB); university origin funding source (UOFS); and pre-internship medical practice (pIMP) were asked using multiple choices questionnaires. All of the questionnaires were asked using google form. Then, Spearman correlation two-tailed test was conducted. The obtained significant variables tested in binomial logistic regression test. Result: DUREL score had a weak negative significant correlation to pIMP (r= -0.197; p<0.1), UORB had a weak positive significant correlation to pIMP (r= 0.295; p<0.1), and UOFS had an insignificant correlation to pIMP (p>0.1). The binomial logistic regression test showed that higher DUREL score led to lower preference in doing pIMP although UORB of Islam led to the opposite (OR=3.6 90%CI 1.85-7.35).Discussion: Religiosity seems to prevent pre-Internship doctors to do pIMP although the UORB predicts otherwise. However, the correlations of the variables are weak. A further study is needed to learn the motive of pIMP and bring the solution to the problem.International Journal of Human and Health Sciences Vol. 05 No. 01 January’21 Page: 50-54

Stress in medical practice has always been a topical issue. This is partly because medical service involves taking care of other peoples’ lives and mistakes or errors could be costly and sometimes irreversible. It is thus expected that the medical doctor himself must be in a perfect state of mind devoid of morbid worries and anxieties. This is however not usually the case, because the doctor apart from being affected by the same variables that impose stress on the general population, is also prone to stress because of the peculiarities of his work situation and the expectation of the society at large.We have conducted an extensive research to determine the level of stress load and occurrence of burnout syndrome between Czech medical doctors comparing to general professions. Group of medical doctor (n = 500) was compared to group of on medical professions (n = 500) using questionnaires for evaluation of stress load and burnout syndrome.The results of the study confirmed that occurrence of high stress load and burnout syndrome is substantially higher than in non-medical professions (p < 0.01) and further several specific factors influencing occurrence of stress and burnout syndrome was identified (i.e. age, length of medical practice etc). The study supports the hypothesis that medical professions represent serious factor in stress load and thus persons in medical professions should be subject to special care.

Jovan Apostolovic was born between 1730 and 1735, in Buda and died in 1770 in Novi Sad. He was the first Serbian physician who acquired the title of a medical doctor with his doctoral thesis. After his graduation from the Halle Medical School in 1757, he defended his doctoral thesis there, titled ?How Emotions Affect the Human Body?. This thesis, considering the time of its publication, was the first in the history of medicine that studied psychosomatics taking into consideration the influence of emotions on human organism. Upon his arrival to Novi Sad, in 1759, Apostolovic had founded his medical practice as an only graduate physician in the town. When, after its outbreak in Belgrade, Srem and Banat, the plague threatened to spread to the Novi Sad area, he was appointed the town?s doctor in 1763, but was resolved from this position in 1765, since the Magistrate was not able to handle the pressure from the barbers, catholic priests and German population of the town. After losing this position, he continued with his medical practice in Novi Sad, till 1770 when he died of tuberculosis.
