description | Proficiency in clinical examination skills upon graduation from medical school is a core competency. Over the last few decades, the ability and confidence in this fundamental and crucial skill set has declined. The motivation and interest in meticulous physical examination by recently graduated residents has also eroded. In this case study, we describe a comprehensive, innovative, and immersive advanced clinical skills elective taken during the second half of the final year of medical school for students at the David Geffen School of Medicine. The course utilizes novel approaches to inspire, refresh and consolidate essential bedside observation skills and examination techniques. This approach gives senior students the confidence and fundamental understanding of how dedication to the patient exam can improve the doctor-patient relationship, core clinical reasoning and the practice of cost-effective and evidence-based care through their careers. We describe how the integration of fine art appreciation and introductory biding techniques are used to help students hone their visual diagnostic skills. We show how this is solidified through a longitudinal series of clinical image review sessions with diagnostic reasoning principles to formulate a clear differential. Point of care ultrasound, EKG analysis, advanced cardiac auscultation and diagnostic imaging skills are integrated in a comprehensive and memorable fashion. We present this case study to inspire clinical skills teachers everywhere to replicate our methods in resurrecting the importance of physical exams for their learners. Opening their trainees’ eyes to new methods of honing their visual intelligence and developing healthy habits for stress and burnout reduction will aid the rest of their professional careers. |
