About this book

Medical, nursing, and physician assistant students should find the practical history and physical exam guidance in this book to be invaluable. As an introductory reference to primary-care patient encounters, the book is highly recommended. -- Yale Journal of Biology and Medicine

Long heralded as a key guide for medical students, nurses, and physician assistants, Essentials of Clinical Examination Handbook, Seventh Edition is a concise yet comprehensive on-the-job reference for history-taking and physical exams that covers both standard exams and specialty-specific diagnostic approaches. Each chapter has been edited by several students and reviewed by faculty experts at the University of Toronto. This new edition includes updated and improved flow charts, mnemonics, illustrations, and clinical pearls, with a greater focus on evidence-based medicine across all topics.
