It is also recommended that this program be used in conjunction with textbooks and lectures to support clinical correlation of pathology with physical exam findings. |

Lessons Learned:
|
| Students are often overwhelmed when trying to remember the components and technique of the physical examination while assimilating physical exam findings into a clinical picture. This tutorial has minimized emphasis on abnormal findings and pathology so that students may focus on polishing their technique and gaining confidence without being overwhelmed. |
