The acquisition of practical clinical skills, necessary knowledge in health and medicine, and the ability to employ these skills are essential. In the field of health and medicine, education is crucial for facilitating the acquisition of clinical skills, and possessing clinical skills leads to optimal recognition, acquisition of cognitive skills, and provision of effective healthcare services. Therefore, the present study analyzes the spectrum of clinical and cognitive skills education among medical students. This study is a simple review resulting from searches in databases such as SID, Magiran, IranMedex, Irandoc, as well as international databases including Google Scholar, Medline, PubMed, Elsevier, ProQuest, and Springer, using Mesh keywords such as education, medical education, clinical skills, cognitive skills, learners, medical sciences education, teaching-learning, and two-stage screening. A total of 21 articles were reviewed and analyzed. The findings indicate that clinical and cognitive skills education is a fundamental part of medical sciences education. Thus, the use of effective educational approaches to strengthen cognitive and clinical skills during the empowerment of graduates is essential for providing healthcare services. Without possessing clinical and cognitive skills, it is impossible to provide healthcare services with the standards obtained from learners' education in the field of health and medicine.
