The time of compensation will be at the lower limit but to the highest probable benifit of exposure to patients and clinical instructors. Considering both the valuable clinical training and the ideal time of graduation that won't interfere with the start of internship year that will start after completion of final exams as scheduled.
The following procedures should be respected and followed strictly:
1- The batch will be divided into four groups , each group consists of 54 to 56 students and the groups will be appointed to the four majors of sixth year ( Medicine, Surgery, Obs. & Gyne and Pediatrics).
