Abstract

Laboratories for Medicine and Clinical Skills

Author(s): Jacob Stewart, Tabitha Wilson

The major goal of the medical curriculum is to equip medical students with the necessary knowledge, abilities, and attitudes to practise medicine. A decade ago, the UK Medical Council published "Tomorrow's Doctors," a report that Define for less factual content in medical education and more problem-based and self-directed learning. This report laid the groundwork for a major overhaul of medical and nursing education. The new revised curricula improved integrated medical education and placed a greater emphasis on clinical skill teaching and learning. However, worries regarding the standards and suitability of new medical graduates' skills remained. Clinical Skills Laboratories (CSLs) emerged in the medical education of many medical and nursing schools as a result of changes in teaching and learning methods, radical changes in health care delivery, and rapid technological advancements that challenged the traditional way of clinical skill development. Given the growth of CSLs, it is critical to analyse and expose the reader to their uses, especially given the scarcity of literature on the issue in recent years. This article is based on a review of the literature.
