Placement / supervised professional training
Students are placed at hospitals, other health care institutions or with practising doctors individually or in small groups. They receive teaching and supervision and/or work under the supervision/instruction of a doctor in charge.
Work in a department
Students have an agreed presence in a hospital department or outpatient clinic where they work with assigned tasks individually or in small groups (e.g. record writing, practical procedures, other work at the department) and/or have an opportunity to assist and observe doctors in their work.
Attending courses as a guest student
Student are allowed to voluntarily participate in an organized clinical activity as a spectator or assistant when it is their turn – for example ambulance ridealongs and ambulance services.
The different subjects in medical school explain more about where these forms of teaching take place.
