Abstract
Aims: To assess perceptions and performance of 1st MBBS students in clinical examination skillsafter early clinical exposure (ECE) through clinical skills lab (CSL) using simulated patients.Methods: The research involved 150 first-year MBBS students, 50 students attended in two groupswith 25 students each. A pre and post-test of awareness about ECE and CSL, a training sessionwith one set of students receiving traditional lecture-based “see one do one” teaching methods,and the other group receiving training in small group teaching with simulated patients in CSL.Performance was assessed using a validated checklist. Feedback was taken from all participants.Results: The ECE group performed better in clinical skills. 38 students performed well and 11performed excellently, compared to the traditional teaching group with only 11 performing good.ECE was perceived to be better by the majority of students (82.9%) than traditional teachingmethod. The majority of teachers (97.7%) agreed that early clinical exposure will help studentsprepare before encountering real patients and 90% of simulated patients agreed that students ofECE exposed group have examined better than the traditional teaching method (11%). The pre-and post-test scores showed an increase in awareness. Conclusion: Students in the first year ofmedical school perform better in examination skills if they have early clinical exposure and clinicalskills lab with simulated patients are the best resources for achieving the primary goal of skillacquisition
