Clinical year orientation for medical students is crucial for bridging the gap between theoretical learning and practical clinical application. It equips students with the necessary skills for effective patient care and ethical practice, and familiarizes them with the expectations of clinical environments. This period also introduces students to workplace-based assessments, distinct from earlier years, requiring a clear understanding of various evaluative methods.
