Indeed, this does not sound as native English, as far as I can tell.

Given the context you have provided it can very well be εφημερίες although I can hardly imagine a first year medical student **actively** participating in them. Perhaps, they simply attended.

It could also be clinical examinations, so κλινικές εξετάσεις (ασθενών). I think this is a likely mistranslation.

now, with the full context, everything becomes clear, from her first year she underwent a sort of apprenticeship for nurses.and in her 4th year she started looking after the patients and was allowed to assist during operations

this is my second suggestion since your initial context was scarse and a corresponding translation became possible only after your having delivered additional details.

to guard is a clumsy translation obviously made by a non native speaker. IMO what the writer wants to say is that she was assigned specific care tasks with a certain amount of responsibility when looking after the patients, administering medicine, changing dressings and bandages and such like.
