Training in the hospital?. That's for medical students, not for doctors who have graduated. Those students don't get paid in training in hospital because they do not work for hospital but learn from doctors in hospital who many of those doctors are also their lecturers in medical faculty.
Medical students cannot choose in which hospital they want to get training. But they must learn in hospital that appointed by the faculty.
About medical study in Indonesia. There are two basic 'stage'. First is about 3.5 years. After graduated they got title "sarjana kedokteran/s.ked" (scholar of medicine), and they are not allowed to work as doctor.
Second is about 2 years. They get title "dokter/dr" (doctor) and allowed to work as doctor.
Or, they can continue their study in specialization or to higher level.
In Indonesia, medical faculty is the most expensive faculty in universities. Dental faculty is not as expensive as medical faculty.
