Perspectives of faculty, students and patients on clinical skills teaching in undergraduate medical education in Pakistan: a qualitative study
This study underscores the complexities of clinical teaching and learning in an LMIC context, highlighting the need for a balanced, context-sensitive model that integrates simulation with authentic bedside exposure, supported by mentorship and reflective practice. Addressing structural and faculty-related barriers is essential to advancing equitable, patient-centred clinical education in resource-constrained environments.
