AB  - Although, early clinical skills training is emphasized in many medical schools, students still feel unprepared and anxious about starting their clerkships. KAU medical college introduced the clinical skill module to the 4th year students of the new curriculum before they enter to the clerkships. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of this module in preparing students to clerkships and to compare their perceptions to those of the 5th year. A comparative cross sectional study was conducted on 4th year after finishing the module as well the fresh 5th year students. A well constructed questionnaire, included clinical skills taught was distributed to the students.
