The main goal of clinical skills training centers is to simulate a clinical environment, so that clinical skills training can be controlled and practiced. Of course, these centers only complement the real clinical environment and do not replace it in any way. Research on learning clinical skills has shown that students have anxiety in their initial encounters with patients, and this anxiety is often related to the performance of practical skills. If the student does not have enough practice, the fear of failure and making mistakes prevents him from performing properly. Learning in these centers can be done in the form of self-study and active learning. These centers reduce pessimism towards educational-therapeutic centers because better and more complete learning in clinical skills centers reduces the possibility of medical errors by students, interns, and residents
