Methods A cross-sectional analysis was carried out online using google form sent to all medical colleges of Iraq during March-May 2023 on stagiaire and first year graduates to inquire about their opinions regarding their clinical training. Results From 250 responses received from different universities, 37.3% of students found the educational sessions are most useful for training, 14.1% found they are not useful and 5.6% don't attend the educational sessions. Majority of Al-Nahrain students have adapted new responsibilities (60%), most of them have chosen group members as their main supporters (46%) and most of them have suggested skill labs as a method for improvement in future sessions. Conclusion The majority of the students found that the educational sessions and skill lab are the most useful tools for preparedness and clinical training.
