Yes , you will need to go through the foundation program since you haven’t completed an acceptable pattern of internship and you only went through clinical rotations.
NB; Your 4th year is just clinical rotation/clerkship and not an internship (I stand to be corrected), so in this case, you are eligible for a provisional license which can only be used for Foundation Program.

I echo what @Edd1z said.
An internship is something like an approved training post by the local medical regulatory board in order to obtain full registration in that country.
A USA medical graduate will only obtain provisional registration with GMC UK, as the USA doesn’t have the concept of doing a rotational internship unless the grad goes to another country and does an approved internship by that country, which will be accepted by GMC UK.
