Abstract

Practical, or procedural, skills in healthcare share many features with psychomotor skills in other unrelated disciplines. Since this is the case, we can refer to the published scientific literature on psychomotor skills in general in order to understand how best to teach procedural skills to students, and how best to assess them. It may then be possible to formulate the principles and objectives that govern a curriculum in procedural skills. These principles and objectives will dictate the requisite learning experiences to be included in the curriculum. Consideration may then be given to the types of training media appropriate for the objectives at each stage of the curriculum.
