Do doctors learn to give shots and stitches by practicing on themselves in medical school?
VanderbiltGal
There are many ways that medical students learn their clinical skills. Shots and IV cannulae are practiced on models to begin with, and once the basics are mastered we can begin to sharpen our skills on really people.
Stitches are learned in theory, and then on models or on pieces of meat (pigs feet from the butchers being a favourite) before moving on to real patients!
