Physical Exam Essentials vs Medicine Central

Learn the physical examination step by step, from the health history to the neurologic exam. Physical Exam Essentials is a study aid for nursing, medical and physician assistant students, and for anyone reviewing the exam before an OSCE or a skills check. Each section walks through what to inspect, palpate, percuss and auscultate, in order, with photographs of the maneuvers. It was written by a physician. PRACTICE FOR YOUR OSCE Every section has an OSCE station: the steps an examiner marks, in order, from the opening (hand hygiene, introduction, consent, chaperone) through the examination to the closing and what you would do to complete it. Practice it in Recall: each step stays hidden; say it out loud, reveal it, and mark whether you had it, against a station timer. At the end you see your score, your time and the steps you missed, then present your findings. Or use Checklist to tick off each step as you examine a partner. You can also practice a section's full text, or one topic at a time. 14 SECTIONS The Health History, The General Survey, Skin and Nails, HEENT and Neck, Thorax and Lungs, Breast and Axillae, Cardiovascular, Peripheral Vascular, Abdominal, Male Genitalia, Anus, Rectum and Prostate, Female Genitalia, Anus and Rectum, Mental Status, Cranial Nerves, and the Neurologic Exam.

Learn the examination from your instructors and a current textbook, and practice it under supervision.
