Melmaruvathur Adhiparasakthi Institute of Medical Sciences and Research (MAPIMS) is equipped with a dedicated Skill Laboratory located on the second floor of the academic building. This facility is designed to provide students with hands-on training in essential clinical skills, enhancing their proficiency and confidence in medical practice.
The Anaesthesiology department conducts Basic Life Support (BLS) training for all MBBS students as part of their foundation course. This training equips students with life-saving skills essential for emergency medical situations.
The Skill Laboratory boasts more than 12 different sets of mannequins, allowing students to practice basic clinical skills such as first aid, normal delivery, and intravenous injections. Additionally, there are over 20 models available for learning basic suturing methods and injection techniques.
The laboratory features a demonstration room equipped with the latest multimedia equipment. This facilitates Small Group Learning (SGL) sessions, allowing for interactive and collaborative learning experiences among students.
The Skill Laboratory conducts sessions on Certifiable Clinical Skills (CCS), which are integral components of the new curriculum. These sessions focus on developing students' proficiency in clinical procedures and protocols.
The Skill Laboratory at MAPIMS plays a crucial role in supplementing theoretical learning with practical, hands-on experience. By providing a simulated clinical environment and access to advanced training resources, the laboratory prepares students to excel in real-world medical settings.
