Introduction to Physical Examination course for GPs
This session introduces the Physical Examinations video module which demonstrates how to carry out a range of focused, problem-based physical examinations in general practice.
The module is useful for GPs at all stages in their career, including those preparing for the Clinical Skills Assessment.
This session was reviewed by Khyati Bakhai and last updated in June 2018.
