Medical simulation centers enhance physician training by providing safe practice environments. These clinics are crucial for developing essential clinical and surgical skills, especially in resource-limited regions.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Global Health

Background:

  • High mortality rates in underdeveloped regions are linked to insufficient physician hands-on training.
  • Physicians in some areas perform procedures on live patients without prior practical experience.
  • There is a need for improved clinical and surgical skills training for future physicians.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a guideline for establishing medical skills training clinics.
  • To examine simulation kits and clinical skills clinics at a Caribbean medical school.
  • To advocate for the adoption of simulation centers in resource-limited settings.

Main Methods:

  • Development of simulation kits by a student-run surgical organization.
  • Implementation and evaluation of clinical skills clinics.
