Clerkship Ready: Pediatrics

Before You Examine A Pediatric Patient - Physical Exam Tips & Tricks


Listen Later

Today, we will be reviewing what you need to know to examine your pediatric patients. Examining children is a bit of an art form and is often unfamiliar to clerkship students who may have a varied degree of experience being around children, may never have worked with children and may not have been exposed to pediatric patients in the pre-clinical years. In this episode, we discuss tips and tricks to get the exam you need on your pediatric patient with as little crying as possible.

  1. How to examine a baby/infant
  2. How to examine a toddler/preschool aged child
  3. Focused information on the ear exam/otoscopy
  4. How to examine a school aged child/teen
  5. Engaging older children in your exam
  6. Focused information on the genitourinary exam 
  7. Presenting your physical exam during oral presentation

  8. Resources/Links:

    1. Bates' Guide to Physical Examination and History Taking by Lynn Bickley (your pediatric clinics will generally have a copy)
