History and Clinical Examination at a Glance (eBook)

Every medical student must be able to take an accurate history and perform a physical examination. This third edition of History and Clinical Examination at a Glance provides a concise, highly illustrated companion to help you develop these vital skills as you practice on the wards. Building on an overview of the patient/doctor relationship and basic enquiry, the text supports learning either by system or presentation of common conditions, with step-by-step and evidence-based information to support clinical examination and help you formulate a sound differential diagnosis.

History and Clinical Examination at a Glance features:

• Succinct text and full colour illustrations, including many brand new clinical photographs
• A new section on the development of communication skills, which explains how to communicate in different circumstances, and with different groups of people
• A self-assessment framework which can be used individually, by tutors, or in group practice to prepare for OSCEs

History and Clinical Examination at a Glance is the perfect guide for medical, health science students, and junior doctors, as an ideal resource for clinical attachments, last-minute revision, or whenever you need a refresher.
