Clinical skills centre was conceived in the year 2002-2003 in relation to surgical skills courses for MRCS of UK being conducted at a private facility. At the same time life support courses were being done at random places. A need was then felt to establish a stand alone clinical skills centre where all types of skills could be imparted as was a norm in the western countries. The same was not being done in our country due to lack of dedicated centres and high investment of space, equipment and man power. MAMC was ideally placed for satisfying all the conditions. This is the first such Skills Centre in the entire country in any medical college in the government and private sector to impart the entire range of procedures related to development of medical, surgical and life support skills. The Facility includes a Dhanvantri Laboratory for open surgical training with 20 working stations, Sushruta Laboratory for Microsurgical Training with 10 working stations, Sanjeevani Hall for Laparoscopic Dry Skills training with 10 working stations and 6 stations for Life Support Courses, Charak Hall with seating capacity of 50 participants, a Library cum Faculty Room, a Pantry with a seating of 16, and 2 office rooms.
