Introduction: Clinical education plays a crucial role in shaping the capabilities and professional skills of learners, and it is an essential and sensitive part of medical education. Clinical education provides students with information and skills related to patient care, as well as improving decision-making skills, critical thinking, and increasing students' self-confidence. Clinical education provides an opportunity for transforming theoretical knowledge into practical skills in caregiving, meaning that enhanced education leads to improved quality of care. Therefore, attention to clinical education and its influencing factors is important. With the importance of continuous assessment of the current status of clinical education, it is proposed to review the content of courses and provide clear objectives, lesson plans, clinical education programs, and thorough justification for students. The use of new educational aids, appropriate planning for dividing students into sections, and equipping departments with more facilities can reduce the problems in clinical education. Furthermore, authorities ought to enhance educational quality by regularly evaluating the current landscape and employing feedback from learners and teachers to examine issues and pinpoint existing obstacles and difficulties.
