[Clinical placements cannot start in the third year of medical training].
A solid knowledge base is essential in order for clinical placements that include some responsibilities to be meaningful. As it takes at least 3 years to discuss all principal organ systems, clinical placements should not commence after only two years. In addition, the limited numbers of patients and clinical teachers may be better reserved for full senior clinical placements.
