Riassunto

A bestselling title for over 25 years, the updated seventh edition of Talley and O'Connor's Clinical Examination is an essential read for all student clinicians. Fully updated with the latest clinical data, including specially commissioned research, Clinical Examination addresses the core principles and clinical skills that underpin diagnosis for safe, effective medical practice. Clinical Examination: A systematic guide to physical diagnosis, 7th edition breaks down each body system into a logical framework focusing on the history, clinical examination and correlation between physical signs and disease for each system. Helping students to navigate from first impressions through to the end of consultation, the text provides a patient-centred, evidence-based approach, making it the definitive resource for anyone embarking upon a medical career.

Building on the strengths of previous editions, Clinical Examination 7th edition, includes StudentConsult with access to:

• Full eBook
• 4 additional chapters: - The Paediatric History and Examination - The Neonatal History and Examination - The Gynaecological History and Examination - The Obstetric History and Examination
• OSCE-based scenario videos to assist with examination preparation
• ECG case studies
• Imaging library (X-rays, MRIs and CT scans)
• 390 MCQs

The book is written for the clinical skills subject of the medical curriculum. Medical schools teach this at varying stages, some introducing the subject in the beginning years (graduate medical schools years 1 & 2) and others at year 3 (traditional/hybrid curricula, usually 5 or 6 years). Specialty Colleges and RACP teach a clinical skills subject in the early part of basic training which takes place after PGY1 & 2.
