New Skills Center Gives
UAMS Students Hands-On Experience

Students at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) have a new resource for gaining hands-on clinical experience.

The Center for Clinical Skills Education was unveiled March 20 at a ribbon-cutting ceremony in the UAMS College of Public Health. Although the campus has had a similar center for several years, the new one features state-of-art technology available at few other medical schools in the country.

“Our center is unique because it offers students in all of UAMS’ colleges a chance to interact with patients and practice their clinical skills in real-world settings,” said Mary Cantrell, center director. “We are proud to offer this center to our students, and believe that it gives them an incredible educational advantage.”

Participating in the ceremony were UAMS Chancellor I. Dodd Wilson, M.D.; UAMS College of Medicine senior Kate McCarthy of Little Rock; Sara Tariq, M.D., medical director for the center; and Cantrell.
