Final Clinical Skills of 2021

October 25, 2021

We held the final session of Clinical Skills for 2021--here's to our Block 6 students!  During Clinical Skills students will learn suturing and knot tying as well as different birth techniques and exams.  Clinical Skills is an intergal portion of the clerkship so that students feel most comfortable and can perform while on site.
