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”.
