This aim of study is to explore the ability to make an appropriate diagnosis and treatment in clerkship students on their final examination as medical doctor. We used analytic method to 609 sheets of prescription from 180 clerkship students in their last try out Objective Structured Clinical Examination at Medical Faculty UNISBA, March 2018. There were 20 diagnoses from 10 groups of body systems. Based on different cases, clerkship students must write their own diagnosis and gave an appropriate pharmacological therapy for each diseases. The result showed there were more than 80% made an appropriate diagnosis and less than 50% made inappropriate pharmacological therapy. As conclusion, the ability to make proper therapy for clerkship medical student is lower than the ability to make an appropriate diagnosis.
