Students must show the number of cases seen and examined, procedures assisted and procedures performed in the log-book which

his/her visit. The report must be copied to the Dean of the Faculty from which the student come from and also the Dean of the Faculty where

e.g. blood pressure machine, white coat, tendon hammer, stethoscope etc.Students coming to other consultant hospitals are supposed to have the
same obligations except that since these are not teaching hospitals, clerkship would be organized by the supervisor accordingly.
