The Skills & Simulation Lab at Rashid Latif Medical College serves as a cornerstone for experiential learning and clinical skill development. Designed to provide a safe and controlled environment, the lab enables students to learn, practice, and refine essential clinical and procedural skills before entering real patient care settings.
The RLMC Skills Lab bridges the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical competence. It aims to produce confident, competent, and compassionate healthcare professionals through hands-on training, simulation-based education, and interprofessional collaboration.
The lab is equipped with high-fidelity manikins, anatomical models,
task trainers, and simulation stations that replicate real-life hospital scenarios.
Students are trained in basic and advanced clinical skills such as:
History taking and physical examination
IV-line insertion, catheterization, and suturing
Basic and advanced life support (BLS & ALS)
Airway management and CPR
Obstetric and gynecological procedures
Trauma and emergency care simulations
Simulation sessions are integrated across all MBBS years, complementing courses in anatomy, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, and clinical rotations. Faculty from multiple disciplines collaborate to deliver structured sessions, checklists, and debriefing opportunities that reinforce learning outcomes.
The RLMC Skills Lab promotes competency-based education by using structured assessments such as OSCEs, DOPS, and Mini-CEX. With ongoing development, the lab will evolve into a Central Simulation & Innovation Hub — advancing medical training, interprofessional education, and healthcare innovation. The RLMC Skills Lab stands as a testament to the institution’s commitment to excellence, innovation, and patient safety — ensuring that every graduate is well-prepared for the challenges of modern medical practice.
