Clinical Skills Laboratory

What is a Clinical Skills Laboratory?
The Clinical Skills Laboratory is a modern educational environment that allows health sciences students to put their theoretical knowledge into practice. In these laboratories, routine examinations, diagnostic and treatment processes, as well as social communication skills, are practiced using realistic models and simulation technologies. Thanks to its multidisciplinary structure, students develop their clinical practice skills in a safe and controlled environment, gain professional confidence, and undergo a professional preparation process before providing real-world patient care.

Objectives of the Clinical Skills Laboratory

• The Clinical Skills Laboratory aims to provide students with the fundamental skills expected to be acquired in clinical settings at an earlier age.
• This provides students with more opportunities to practice clinical services.
• By minimizing the use of live animals in accordance with the 3Rs (Replacement, Reduction, Refinement), students are provided with the opportunity to develop their clinical experience in a safe and ethical environment.
• Laboratory work not only enhances practical knowledge and experience but also strengthens students' self-confidence.
• Thanks to this educational model, patient caregivers encounter more equipped and confident students.
• This enhances the institution's credibility and prestige.
• Furthermore, standardization in education is achieved by ensuring that all students perform each clinical practice equally.
• Simulating examination, diagnosis, and treatment processes with one-on-one methods enhances students' education and experience, contributing to the reduction of complications that may be encountered in real veterinary clinics.
