Clinical centers and hospitals  accept qualified students into organized, patient-based teaching programs and  provide additional instruction with pertinent lectures, conferences, ward  rounds and seminars. The college budgets a specified sum of money to help  defray the expenses incurred in running the teaching program at each hospital;  provides professional liability insurance coverage for all its students working  in any of its affiliated hospitals; ensures that all students fulfill health  care requirements required by hospitals; and only assigns students to hospitals  with academic qualifications consonant with the demands of the clinical program  provided by the hospital. All hospitals have been carefully selected to ensure  their facilities meet COP standards. They must demonstrate a continuing  commitment to medical education and furnish the necessary infrastructure to  provide a successful clinical training program: integrating medical students  into the health care team, providing access to the library and other ancillary  facilities and supervising involvement with patients. <br>\n  <strong>Training sites<\/strong><\/p><ul class=\"list angle-double-right\">\n\t\t\t\t  <li>Rashid  Hospital, Dubai (MOU)<\/li>\n  <li>Latifa  Hospital, Dubai (MOU)<\/li>\n  <li>Saudi German Hospital (MOU with Dubai) <\/li>\n  <li>Fakeeh University Hospital, Dubai (MOU) <\/li>\n  <li>Al Jalila Children\u2019s Hospital DHA<\/li>\n  <li>Cleveland Hospital, Abu Dhabi (MOU) <\/li>\n  <li>Iranian Hospital (MOU) <\/li>\n  <li>The following EHS hospitals are also included as training  sites with a formal approval from the Ministry of Health &amp; Prevention. <\/li>\n  <li>Al Qassimi Hospital, Sharjah <\/li>\n  <li>Fujairah Hospital, Fujairah <\/li>\n  <li>Al Baraha Hospital, Dubai <\/li>\n  <li>Applicants from military staff are allowed to pursue  their clinical clerkship in Zayed Military Hospital. <\/li>\n\t\t\t<\/ul><p><\/p><\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr><tr> \n\t\t    <td><strong>Supervision of the Clerkships <\/strong><\/td>\n\t\t<\/tr>\n\t\t<tr>\n\t\t\t<td><p align=\"justify\">COP has a formal administrative  and academic structure for conducting its clinical program at affiliated  hospitals.
