Clinical Examination Resources

Posted on July 29, 2013 by Elspeth Frascatore

How to Be A Doctor A document summarising the Clinical Examination handbook, which is a guide to Short and Long Cases.

Short Cases Template A vital document that you must learn from front to back. Be able to perform each examination smoothly and quickly – this is a performance, not real medicine. Practice on your cat / significant other. Take it with you as you trawl around the wards pestering those poor patients unfortunate enough to have been listed as “good for examination”.

Heart Murmurs A fantastic document to support the “Short Cases Template”.

Important Facts

This document includes lists of drugs doses, acronyms, important research, tests and scores…. Basically all the stuff you don’t bother to remember up until the very end when you just cram numbers and lists into your head. I went over this document again and again during the final countdown, and as a study group we tested each other until we had the vital statistics drummed in to our brain.
