first part of the preclinical medical examination


Explanation:
is a slightly adapted version of how it's translated in the first reference. I didn't find one single prevalent translation.
An informative alternative would be
"the exams concerning the he natural science courses, after the first year of study"
("The pre-clinical course of the veterinary program consists of two sets of oral exams,the natural science course after one year of study,
and the physiological-anatomical course after the second year of study.The natural science course (Vorphysikum)consists of oral exams in
the following subjects: chemistry, botany, physics, and zoology.")
(second reference).

A horrible translation, if you think of it, would be:
"scientific part of pre-clinical examination"
http://www.tiho-hannover.de/studium/tiermedizin/net_ects_e.h...
(if you'r not into sciences, you might be bothered less by the deeper meaning of this translation).

Greetings,

Nikolaus

perhaps I should have added, that I suggest that you give the \"Vorphysikum\" untranslated, with one of the suggested explanations between brackets
