Clinical Skills Lab

The Clinical Skills Lab offers our undergraduate students the opportunities to learn and practice hands-on clinical skills often not taught until medical school clerkship years. These skills include taking a patient history, basic physical exam, suturing, surgical knot-tying, and laparoscopic surgical simulation. The aim of the lab is to strengthen our students’ clinical skills, empower them beyond academic classroom opportunities, and increase health literacy across our campus by engaging the broader community through outreach events. The lab also includes a library featuring a range of MCAT study resources, medical textbooks, as well as fiction and nonfiction works written about clinical care and other relevant topics. By combining hands-on clinical skills practice and these additional resources, we hope to create a fun and safe learning environment for all our future clinicians and other interested students.
