1) The clinical training system in our hospital was evaluated with a questionnaire by 49 trainees.
2) Overall, our clinical training system received high scores, but the scores varied significantly depending on the clinical department.
3) The scores of clinical departments did not correlate with the ratios of supervising physicians to trainees.
4) To provide the best training system possible, the current system must be evaluated and improved.

The Common Achievement Tests for medical students consists of Computer Based Testing (CBT) conducted before clinical training, and Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) conducted before and after clinical training. Since the publicization of the Common Achievement Tests for medical students before clinical training in 2023, the Committee for Reasonable Accommodation has been established within the Common Achievement Tests Organization (CATO), where reasonable accommodations for each exam are being considered. Reasonable accommodations begin with an assessment based on requests from candidates and proceed through constructive dialogue between candidates and universities. Additionally, recordings of practical training sessions are provided to facilitate objective assessments, enabling the provision of reasonable accommodations tailored to candidates’ participation in clinical training and internships, thereby ensuring smooth examination processes.
