Rewritten chapter on evaluating clinical evidence clarifies key concepts to ensure student understanding. Recently refilmed, these 18 volumes of examination videos (as well as 10 additional OSCEs) depict experienced clinicians conducting each of the regional examinations.

Expanded Unit 1 provides an overview of the components of the patient encounter and helps you ensure the most effective information-gathering and decision-making approaches.The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. Revised and expanded chapter on the skin, hair, and nails includes new dermatology photographs and provides the framework for assessing common lesions and abnormalities. Restructured Regional Exam chapters enhance your understanding of overview material, examination techniques, and health promotion and counseling considerations. Based on the Bates’ Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking guidebook, this online resource maintains the book’s evidence-based origins and focuses on clinical accuracy and the range of patient types profiled in the series. In addition to helping students, Bates’ supports practicing clinicians — nurses, physicians, PAs, and therapists — who need a refresher on best practices in physical assessment for their patients.

Highlights of this edition include greater emphasis on patient communication and interview techniques, a new chapter on the older adult, and over 200 new drawings and photographs of abnormalities. Bates' also includes a unit on special populations, covering special stages in the life cycle-infancy through adolescence, pregnancy, and aging. Key performance insights are reported in a user-friendly dashboard that allows you to tailor your learning experiences. These videos are designed to help prepare students for Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) by testing their clinical reasoning skills covering typical/common complaints.It features a clean, straightforward approach that retains the two-column format placing examination procedures and proper techniques on the left, and common abnormalities and possible interpretations on the right. In addition to practicing clinicians, this resource is ideal for any institution’s assessment or clinical medicine courses within medical, nursing, physician assistant, physical or occupational therapy, and pharmacy programs. Extensive updates on the challenges of screening for cardiovascular disease, special populations at risk, steps for risk factor screening, and how to promote lifestyle and risk factor modification.
