Comprehensive guide to core principles and clinical skills
Talley and O’Connor’s Clinical Examination is a complete resource for students and educators covering the core principles, skills and competencies needed for effective patient examination and diagnosis.
For each body system, the book details how to take a systematic and comprehensive health history, how to examine a patient, how to correlate physical signs with disease, and how to use rigorous clinical thinking skills to form a diagnosis.
This tenth edition of the book has been fully updated and forms part of a complete package that includes an eBook, skills videos, ECG and imaging cases, and Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), and is complemented by two companion texts, Talley and O’Connor’s Clinical OSCEs and Clinical Examination Essentials.
