Mission and vision of the clinical skills center
The main purpose of clinical skills center is to design a clinical environment wherein clinical skills can be taught and trained in a controlled situation. This center is committed to provide a safe place for teaching and learning clinical and communicative skills. It should also be noted that this center just serves as a complimentary unit for real clinical environments and is not meant to replace them.
Our mission in this center is to establish, maintain, and improve clinical skills centers so as to arm the students of medical sciences with clinical and practical skills via the intersectoral collaboration of various units of the institute and thereby improve the quality of healthcare services offered to patients.
