The Dean further explained that the examination committees utilize a precise distribution mechanism to ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all candidates. By utilizing the university’s teaching hospitals, students are tested in an authentic environment that mirrors the challenges of modern healthcare.
The 37th cohort is expected to play a transformative role in the national healthcare landscape.
