13th October 2018, Soochow University participated in 2nd Clinical & Skills Competition of International Medical Students held at Dalian Medical University.
The Competition was being organized by China Association for International Education (CAFSA) at Dalian Medical University. Participation was made by 30 different Medical Universities in China represented by corresponding 120 Undergraduate Students around 28 different countries.
The clinical skills remain crucial for effective patient care in today’s medical environment. Research works have shown that if the student is informed about the significance of clinical skills which not only evaluates the student on a theory exam section but also on a clinical skills exam section, this may lead to increase focus and practice of the clinical skills more often by the students. The students will prepare themselves in such a way that the clinical skills can be performed when asked to be performed on the clinical skills section of the certification exam. Also on passing such certification exams with a clinical skills exam section on it, will not only evaluates the student’s knowledge but may also exhibit the employer that the student has performed the clinical skills exam and a theory exam to get certified. The most significant approach like this will not only motivate the student to work harder on the clinical skills exam but will also encourage the student to learn and practice the skills to a level that it can be performed on the clinical skills
