This study has demonstrated the feasibility of teaching core clinical rotations in isolated rural areas.
This training program utilized the services of a fulltime medical doctor, from the initial planning and execution stages, to the theoretical classroom teaching, clinical hospital rotations, field trips and graduation.
Forty-seven percent of students preferred for patient safety education to be taught during clinical rotations, and twenty-seven percent of students preferred to be taught during the clinical skills class during first and second year.
A typical team on the medical clinical teaching unit (CTU) rotation consists of an attending internist, a senior medical resident, 2 3 junior residents, and 2 medical students in the final year of the MD program - clinical clerks.

Loyola Stritch's first class of DACA enrollees, who matriculated in 2014, are completing their clinical rotations in teaching hospitals.
Students reported the integrated use of EBM principles by clinicians in practice and during bedside teaching activities when undertaking rotations in emergency medicine, general medicine and cardiology; often by early to mid-career clinicians.
Studies investigating SpRs professional skills after clinical rotations in different teaching hospitals, showed that certain skills were developed better in specific teaching settings, and non-university teaching hospitals were favoured as effective learning environments than university teaching hospitals [ 1, 2].
The mandatory Cobra-alpha course, advanced MIS courses and congresses form the training structure in the Dutch residency curriculum, combined with simulator training in the teaching hospitals during clinical rotation.
