The present study aimed at assessing the viewpoint of medical students on the effectiveness of educational programs and regulations in clinical training. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional and descriptive-analytical study was conducted in the internal medicine ward in vali-e-asr hospital of Birjand University of Medical Sciences. All medical students were selected via census from those who had passed their internal medicine training over the past 2 years (2014-2016). Viewpoint of the students on the effectiveness of the internal medicine ward regulations and educational programs were evaluated by means of a researcher-designed questionnaire. The questionnaire included 10 questions regarding educational regulations and 26 items about educational programs. Finally, the obtained data was fed into SPSS (V: 16) software using independent T-test for analysis at the significant level of alpha=0.05. Results: A total of 100 students, including 36(36%) interns and 64(64%) stagers filled out the questionnaires. Mean viewpoint score of the students on educational regulations was 2.66±0.86. Mean viewpoint score of students on educational rules affecting attendance of students and instructors in training fields was 3.25±1.22 and 3.23+1.09, respectively. Regarding the educational programs, the highest and lowest scores belonged to the outpatient clinic ground conferences; (3.31±0.74) and (2.84±0.79), respectively. Conclusion: A polyclinic can be an appropriate spot to transfer clinical-educational programs, but ground conferences are not considered suitable for stagers and interns. Running educational regulations can gurantee more attendance of students and instructors in clinical training.
