This study aims to determine the role of hospitals in achieving competency. The cross-sectional study was carried out with the subjects of the medical clinical stage of Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta students. The characteristics of hospital were measured by DREEM questionnaire, while the achievement of competencies was based on the scores of OSCE national board. The Spearman correlation analysis was conducted to determine the correlation between the characteristics of the hospital and achievement of competency. The results showed the mean of DREEM of 137.41 and the OSCE of 79.76. The correlation analysis showed no correlation between the characteristics of hospitals and achievement of competence (p=0.96).
