The Clinical Practical Skills Workshop organized by the Association of International Medical Students (AIMS) took place on 5 February. Read what the participants say and see pictures.


This past Tuesday 5 February, students from various academic years had a chance to participate in a Clinical Practical Skills Workshop organised by the Association of International Medical Students (AIMS) in collaboration with the Department of Nursing at Motol University Hospital.

During the workshop led by Mgr. Kateřina Zámečníková and Bc. Věra Nigrovičová, students were able to practice and improve on important skills such as IV cannulation, administration of injections (IM, IV, SC), preparation and administration of transfusions as well as non-invasive blood pressure measurement. In a relaxed and friendly setting, each student took their turn practicing every single technique.

A special thank you goes to Mrs. Zámečníková and Mrs. Nigrovičová for their expert guidance and supervision as well as to the Department of Nursing for approving the organization of this event.

Opportunities such as this one allow students to get familiar with crucial techniques necessary for future practice and to further complement their medical education.
