Requirements: 

To access traineeship, the student must participate in the Professionalising Laboratories (LP) and the Professionalising and in-depth Activities (APA) with mandatory frequency since these supplementary activities allow the student to acquire specific skills and competences in a protected and simulated situation, preparing it for clinical situations. that will experience on the field.
In addition, the student must acquire theoretical-practical knowledge in the characterizing disciplines foreseen by the 3rd year of the course (obstetric-gynecological assistance in urgency and emergency, surgical assistance to pathology, organizational models of obstetric assistance, obstetric and gynecological sciences).

At the end of each traineeship experience, the student receives a formative assessment by the intern assistant. Specifically, an evaluation is expressed on the achievement of the training objectives through evaluation sheets present in the internship booklet.
An assessment is made on the student's profile regarding behavior and transversal skills (communication and relational skills, collaboration and work organization skills, motivation and self-assessment skills); in addition, an assessment is made on the achievement of general and specific technical-operational skills differentiated on the basis of the internship. In both cases, for each item indicated in the evaluation form, the trainee assistant must express a judgment in tenths (excellent: 10; distinguished: 9; good: 8; fair: 7; sufficient: 6; insufficient: <6 ) and then the mathematical average is calculated to obtain the final score.

The final professional traineeship exam 3 consists of a certification assessment that ascertains the levels reached by the student in the development of the expected professional skills. This assessment, expressed in thirtieths, is the summary of the formative assessments gradually documented during the course year by the internship assistants and the level of performance demonstrated at the internship exam. This final test is carried out through a written examination with open questions in which the resolution of clinical cases is requested.

Will be evaluated:
- the accuracy, precision and completeness of the answers
- the ability of clinical reasoning
- the ability to use appropriate terminology

If the student does not achieve the objectives set for the internship and therefore the certification assessment ascertains an insufficient profit, the student is considered "repeating". The student will have to repeat the traineeships until the objectives are achieved and will not be able to attend the lessons of the third year of the course.
