After taking the cognitive skills pre-tests, control group received traditional education and experiment group went under clinical education using outcome-based education program for 9 days. As the final step, the post-test cognitive skills were held and behaviors skill checklist were observed. The data were analyzed using SPSS software using Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney tests and fisher exact test.  Results: The outcome-based education has been effective in promoting the cognitive and behavioral skills of students.
