General Examination

This is the first of a series of presentations on clinical examination. A General Examination of the Patient is a preliminary and important step before focusing into one of the body systems. The student is guided through a virtual classroom environment enhanced with live footage, graphic images, animations, pictures of pathologies, sound recordings and revision tables, starting from basic considerations to more advanced clinical techniques.
