User Reviews

1. Great review book for the wards and pre-clinical years. Easy to reference resource with quick tips for the most important part of physical exam maneuvers. Also provides some additional physical exam procedures in case you need them during clinical rotations. Fantastic book that easily fits in a white coat.
2. I purchased a “used” condition book for 1/2 price of the “new” copy, and the copy I received was like brand new! The book itself is great, it has all of the important stuff that the full text has, but without the fluff. The text is small, but still easy to read and find what you’re looking for. This will definitely be a go-to book for assessment techniques beyond school.
3. I call this the Baby Bates. After my classmates saw me whip this pocket guide out in lab everyone started buying them. It has condensed versions of the larger book material that’s more pertinent to your physical exams. Excellent size and guide for me in PA school.
