Throughout the medical world, simulated labs are
being used for clinical skills development. The newly designed and furnished
clinical skills dry lab at Holy Family Red Crescent Medical College is situated
in the college premises; we are happy to announce that HFRCMC has the latest
facilities with many more to be added soon. Along sideclincal teaching,
students from the third year onwards are to have rotational placement in the
dry lab. Here, with the aid of our experienced faculty and simulators, we are
confident that our student will gain competent clinical
skills.
Guidelines and practice manuals will be distributed
to the students during their rotation to ensure that by the time they are newly
graduated doctors their clinical skills will be of an international standard
caliber.
