The Life of a Medical Student: Learning Surgical Skills and Practicing Simulations

TLDRMedical students learn various surgical skills through serious training and simulation practice, including cesarean sections and forceps procedures. They use prosthetic models that closely resemble real human anatomy to practice cutting through the layers. Despite their training, it can be challenging for a medical student to perform a cesarean section in real-life situations. However, if the opportunity arises, they may assist in emergencies.
