					 applicants under Section
					 2103 of the code who have not
					 completed a one-year program of supervised clinical medical internship operated
					 by a medical school.
(a) The medical
				  school shall provide supervision equivalent to that given to undergraduate

				  curriculum of a foreign medical school.

				  successfully passed by the applicant before admission to the program. The ECFMG
				  examination or other examinations approved by the Council on Medical Education

				  The competence of each accepted student shall be individually evaluated so that
				  the clinical training will correspond to the need of the student.

				  remuneration, from either the hospital or its medical staff, which could be
				  construed as payment for house officer services.
(g) The medical school shall retain
				  appropriate records describing the qualifications for admission, the time and
				  duration of participation, and the achievement of the student at the completion
				  of the year of supervised clinical training. A determination shall be made that

				  program shall be designated "Clinical Trainee" and wear badges so identifying
				  them.
