Physical Exam Checklists

Learning the elements of a physical exam can be daunting. Pocket PEx provides a quick reference for early learners, enabling them to rapidly review the components of a regional exam, as well as the order in which the elements can be performed. There is a lot of room for flexibility and variations are common (i.e. there is not a single "best" way to do this). The key aspects are highlighted, recognizing that there are always things that might be added or removed based on the clinical circumstances.

While the exam areas are presented as "modules" (e.g. vital signs, head and neck, eye, etc), clinicians typically link together components that make the most sense for a particular situation. The final check lists (comprehensive

exams) present most of the elements tied together in an organized fashion, one that allows the examiner to be efficient as they move from one skill to the next.
