Hands-on experience is essential for medical students. Knowing this, UAG helps students to have hands-on experience in medical school by providing them with specific opportunities.
- Clinical Skills Workshops
Universidad Autonoma de Guadalajara provides students with different task-training and integrative workshops in our specially designed Simulation Center through different educational modalities including low and high-fidelity mannequins, and virtual reality clinical scenarios.
Procedural Training is the method of the highly supervised practice of medicine. This allows students to practice medicine under the supervision of highly qualified physicians. This can be something as simple as taking vital signs or as complex as getting ready for a surgical procedure.
Procedural Training is important because students get to practice while keeping patient safety.
In addition, high proficiency students, are invited to participate as junior instructors in the CSD Mentors Program. This is a wonderful way to encourage and grow their leadership skills.
- UAG Simulation Center
Our medical simulation center is a wonderful resource provided to all of our medical students. It provides simulation-based training that helps them get the hands-on experience in a safe environment. Our facility includes:
- Venous and Arterial Access Trainers
- Airway and CPR Mannequins
- Virtual Dissection Tables
- Adult Upper and Lower Torso
- Labour Simulator
- High Fidelity Adult Patient Simulator
In addition, our medical simulation center provides students with the use of these helpful resources.
- IS/OR
- ICU
- L&D
- Simulation Control Room
- Audio Visual Recording System
- Community Medicine
By participating in the community medicine program since the beginning of the medical school years, students have the opportunity to promote health and improve the overall wellbeing of disadvantages populations while practicing their clinical skills under direct supervision.
This experience also invites students to practice and learn Medical Spanish, as consults take place with native-Spanish speakers. However, the UAG CSD Staff will be glad to help those students who require support with translations during the brigades.
- Interprofessional Collaboration
Our medical students are encouraged to practice teamwork by participating in interprofessional clinical scenarios with other health professionals such as nutrition, nursing, odontology and physical therapy students.
By involving in a multidisciplinary approach for patients, students practice their communication and clinical reasoning skills.
- Clinical Rotations
Clinical rotations are crucial for medical students because they allow them to apply what they have learned in the classroom to the medical field.
Many students find clinical rotations to be particularly useful when they are choosing a specialty. Clinical rotations expose students to every field of medicine and students can experience what each field is like. This provides a wonderful way to learn about specific areas of medicine while getting the much-needed hands-on experience.
Conclusion
At UAG, we are looking for our graduates to be more than proficient in the knowledge of science and medicine. We know that practice is necessary to master the clinical skills, therefore, we provide them with different resources in their clinical journey. We want UAG students to be at ease in the delivery room, at ease in the operating room, at ease in the emergency room and in their community.
