What is the ruling on agreeing with colleagues to attend one or two days a week and signing in for each other instead of daily attendance in a useless medical training program, which requires tasks that are not within the scope of doctors' duties, knowing that not attending daily may lead to retraining and delaying the specialty examination?

Registering attendance for absent individuals is forbidden, as it involves lying, cheating, and betraying trust. Therefore, it is not permissible to do so, and one must repent from it. Similarly, whoever received money for absence must return it to the competent authority.
