The official teaching and studying language in Jordan is
English. So you need to take into account that all activities in the departments are in English, however communication with the patients will be held in Arabic but the staff is usually very cooperative and would offer immediate translation to English for you. We highly encourage you to learn some basic Arabic to make the most of your exchange, but it is okay if you don't.
in order to get the certificate you will be asked to: attend
80% of the clerkship, fill in the
logbook and fill in the
Evaluation Form (online).
In case the student doesn't abide the rules of the flat/coexistence/hospital, we reserve the right of expelling them from the exchange. Being that the case, they should find their own accommodation and will not get a certificate.
