The main objective of the medical curriculum is to provide medical students with knowledge, skills and attitudes required for their practice. A decade ago, the UK Medical Council issued a report called "Tomorrow's Doctors"(1) which called for the reduction in the factual content of the medical course with the promotion of problem-based and self-dedicated learning. This report was the basis for a move toward an extensive reform of the medical and nursing curricula. The new reformed curricula enhanced the integrated medical teaching and emphasized the teaching and learning of clinical skills. However, there were still concerns about the standards and appropriateness of the skills of new medical graduates.(2)The changes in the teaching and learning methods, the radical changes in the health care delivery and the rapid growth of technology challenged the traditional way of clinical skills development and led to the emergence of clinical skills laboratories (CSLs) in the medical education of many medical and nursing schools. With the proliferation of the CSLs, it is important to evaluate and introduce the reader to their applications, bearing in mind the paucity of information on this subject particularly over the last couple of years. This article is based on literature review.
医学课程的主要目标是为医学生提供其执业所需的知识、技能和态度。十年前，英国医学委员会发布了一份名为《明日之医》的报告，呼吁减少医学课程中的事实性内容，推广基于问题的学习和自主学习。这份报告是推动医学和护理课程广泛改革的基础。新的改革课程加强了医学综合教学，强调了临床技能的教学与学习。然而，人们仍对新医学毕业生技能的标准和适用性感到担忧。教学方法的变化、医疗保健服务的巨大变革以及技术的迅速发展，对传统的临床技能培养方式提出了挑战，导致许多医学院和护理学院在医学教育中出现了临床技能实验室（CSL）。随着临床技能实验室的不断增加，在考虑到特别是过去几年关于这一主题的信息匮乏的情况下，评估并向读者介绍其应用非常重要。本文基于文献综述。
