The Exam Bench

Four techniques, one order — inspect, palpate, percuss, auscultate — except the abdomen. Work through four benches: sequence an examination, interpret a real set of vital signs at the patient’s actual age, locate a colour finding on any skin tone, and rebuild a vague chart entry into one that would survive a review. Everything you decide gets an explanation and a next action.
