Explanation:
If you try to translate the noun phrase "выделение времени" you can come up with something like "the allotment of time" but that sounds rather awkward in English.
I think it's better to use a descriptive translation here: (here's my idea)
In this study program, 82% of students' time (128 weeks) is devoted to clinical medicine and the remaining 18% of time (28 weeks) is spent in clinical studies.

agree  Amy Lesiewicz: I think "allotted" or "allocated" is better than my suggestion.

agree  Fernsucht: hats off

  -> Thanks Fernsucht!
agree  Amy Lesiewicz: Nice.

  -> Thank you Amy!
agree  Carole Wolfe: I like the way you've expressed it; however, I might prefer "allocated" to "devoted."
51 mins
  -> Thanks Carole. I chose "devoted" because it is a semi-casual "friendly" style that I often see on the websites of Canadian universities in their descriptions of academic programs to students. They use a sort of "friendly" style.
