How we teach ... practical skills in an undergraduate medical curriculum: 5 years of experience at Gezira Medical School (Sudan).
An outline of an undergraduate course to teach medical students practical medical procedures early in their curriculum is described. Introduction of those skill as early as the second year has given the student ample time to practice those skills before graduation. Feedback has shown that the course has been successful in helping the students to master simple procedures by the time they graduate. Early demonstration of complicated skills has also facilitated the ability and confidence of the student to perform those skills during the internship.
