2.  Organizing training objectives with the different clinical departments in all departments and centers of the college and the main university hospital.
3.  Follow-up training programs for final year students in various international educational and university institutes outside Egypt, and communicate with those in charge of these programs directly and agree on ways to evaluate students.
4.  Preparing annual statistics on the training periods for students and participating research fields, as well as evaluating their supervisors from the clinical departments.
5.  Preparing and renewing a student guide for the best clinical training places for Malaysian educational institutes and university hospitals, divided geographically.

•  Monitoring the difficulties that may face the application of elective courses to take appropriate steps to overcome them.

B: Activating the basics of scientific research for students:

• • Preparing an annual plan for scientific research based on students' needs and in line with the program's mission, including the following steps:

1.  Announcing 5-10 competitive research grants funded by the program.
2.  Develop and implement selection mechanisms between advanced research projects and make detailed reports on the bases and criteria for selection to ensure transparency of nomination and achieve the educational purpose of students.
3.  Follow up the work of research projects during implementation and ensure adherence to the time and procedural plan for them.
4.  Support and encourage scientific publishing as an essential output for research projects.

• • Coordination with the main research units in the field of scientific research in the college (Experimental Medical Research Center, College of Medicine).

Organizing research submitted by final year students according to the following steps:

1.  Electronic reservation for research supervisors with a system of specific opportunities and the priority of reservation to ensure equal opportunities for students.
2. Archiving and arranging the research submitted annually electronically.
3.  Examination of scientific plagiarism for all submitted research and the formation of committees to evaluate and discuss them.
4.  Collecting nominations from the supervisors to choose the best 10-12 researches of a competitive nature for publication in the Mansoura Medical Journal.
