During the clinical years, medical students frequently experience physical and mental health problems, which are exacerbated by their work schedules. To address this issue, we develop a bi-objective mathematical model in this study. The two objectives of the model are 1) balancing the workload of each student group and 2) minimizing the deviation of workload among student groups. In addition, the mathematical model includes constraints on ward rotation and ward sequencing. The constraints require students to visit all wards in order to complete their clinical curriculum, and in some wards, students must rotate in a specific order to ensure an effective learning experience. To validate the developed model, the CPLEX solver is utilized in the experiments. The experimental results indicate that the developed model reduces the time required to generate student work schedules and improves the work schedule’s quality.
