Physical examination and clinical diagnosis is the next step after the core subjects of Anatomy, Physiology, Pathology and Differential Diagnosis. Acquiring effective and safe clinical skills is perhaps the most important stage in the clinician's progression from theory to application. This unique ground-breaking presentation harnesses the use of technology to develop a visual tool that stimulates and enhances learning.It provides an animated review of anatomy and physiology. It presents a focused enquiry, pain patterns and differential diagnosis. It includes four feature-length video presentations. It contains Q&A test your self sections.

Review :
At last! An accessible (both in terms of hard cash and information presented) set of DVDs on physical examination skills. How easy Andreas Syrimis has made it for stressed out students! I watch these DVDs while I am cooking or washing up! No weighty tomes to wade through, no sitting at my computer alone upstairs scouring the internet for clinical skills videos. All here, all accessible. Not only video footage but with additional slides and self-assessment questions included. I agree with another reviewer who says that Andreas demystifies clinical skills. Take, for example, the nervous system, which often scares and confuses students; he tackles its complexities (on 2 DVDs) with clarity and logic, and presents his information precisely and concisely. His style is confident but gentle and unhurried. He takes the listener with him - and of course there is always the pause/rewind button on hand...just incase! As a trained nurse now studying to become a health practitioner I would recommend these DVDs to anyone needing to learn/revise clinical examination skills for bedside and/or consulting room. Ms. M. LLOYD I purchased the whole set of Andreas Syrimis's DVD's to use as teaching and revision aids for both under and post graduate orthodox and complementary medicine students. Mr Syrimis has made the subject of physical examination accessible. He has removed the mystery from it. My students found the musculoskeletal DVD especially helpful. This is an area of physical examination that students traditionally have difficulty with. The subject is clearly and logically presented. The format facilitates numerous ways of teaching from initial subject introduction to revision. Thank you Mr Syrimis and I wish the DVD's had been published when I was a student. I have no reservations in recommending them to tutors and students alike. Ms L.A. Nelson
