Objective: The main objective of the study is to train the postgraduates in fracture fixation using a skills lab, to have an idea about the establishment of a skills lab, to weigh the pros and cons of establishing a functional skills lab and also to evaluate scientifically the beneficial effects of both cognitive and psychomotor skills on a quantitative scale. Methods: It is a Quantitative Interventional study in which eight postgraduates of first-year Orthopaedics participated in seven sessions of different modules at Maharajah__ampersandsignrsquo;s Institute of Medical College, Nellimarla, Vizianagaram district, Andhrapradesh. The study uses assessment tools like Multiple Choice Question (MCQs) and Objective structured practical examination (OSPE) questionnaire. Results: From the results, it was found that the scores obtained in the post-workshop either in MCQs pattern or OSPE questionnaire pattern for testing knowledge were higher among all the eight postgraduate students comparatively than the scores obtained during the pre-workshop training programme and the obtained results were highly significant as the p-value was less than 0.05. The results of the current study had proved that the skills of all the eight postgraduate students were very well improved from the pre to post-workshop on various modules. It was concluded that OSPE can supplement the existing pattern of conventional methods of clinical examination. Conclusion: In the present scenario, it may be realistic to expect its inclusion in the formal summative evaluation schedule of medical colleges and in the day-to-day assessment of students to improve their clinical competence. The surgical simulation training program on various cognitive and skills modules gained a step forward in the development of a comprehensive orthopedic surgical skills educational curriculum.&#13;
