**Now available for iPad!** Physical Exam Essentials is your source for a quick overview of the patient physical exam. This is the ‘must-have’ reference app for anyone studying, practicing or interested in medicine. Never forget important exam techniques again. Click “…More” to learn why you should download this App today!

***** An Essential medical app “As a third year, this has become one of my essential apps that is on the homepage of my iPhone. Along with epocrates, eyechart, and imurmur, I use this multiple times a week. It’s comprehensive and simple to navigate! A must buy!” - doc someday

***** Ultimate quick and dirty “Great for medical students or anyone who might need to brush up on a comprehensive physical exam. Complete with pictures of normals and detailed instructions, you will never go into an OSCE or examine a patient without knowing what to do. Great app!” - Rob Kaye

Maybe you’re in medical school with exams coming up. After gallons of coffee and many sleepless nights spent pouring over notes and textbooks, you still wonder if you’re going to make it.

Preparing for a career in medicine requires learning a daunting amount of information and technique. When facing an important test of your knowledge and abilities, like the physical examination of a patient, nerves can derail all of your memorization and confidence, in a hurry.

You know the material; you just need a little last minute boost and memory jogger to quell the stage fright. That’s where Physical Exam Essentials comes to the rescue.

This application lets you look up selected terms, view illustrations of physical exam maneuvers, read the Clinical Correlates to discover the significance of certain findings and find descriptions of special tests. Physical Exam Essentials even offers a guide for describing your findings.

Physical Exam Essentials is not a comprehensive medical reference. Rather, it is a handy overview resource that is perfect for medical students, pre-meds, health professionals and anyone who practices or has an interest in medicine. Conveniently located on your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, this application provides quick, easy-to-use reviews of procedures and techniques for 14 different categories:

* The Health History 
* The General Survey
 * Skin and Nails
 * HEENT and Neck
 * Thorax and Lungs 
* Breast and Axillae 
* Cardiovascular Exam
 * Peripheral Vascular System 
* Abdominal Exam
 * Male G*******a, Anus, Rectum, Prostate 
* Female G*******a, Anus, Rectum 
* Mental Status Exam
 * Cranial Nerves 
* Neurological Exam

As you can see, Physical Exam Essentials has got you covered for examining your patients. That’s not all, though. Just look at some of the other features you get!

* Attractive, easy to navigate interface * Look up certain selected terms in Wikipedia, Google, or Google images 
* Pictures in each section help to illustrate physical exam maneuvers 
* Includes "Clinical Correlates" which highlight the significance of certain physical exam findings 
* "Presentation Tips" included to help you describe your findings
 * Includes descriptions of special tests that are not usually performed in a routine physical exam 
* Content and images added and updated regularly

Forget carrying those heavy textbooks everywhere you go. Sometimes, all you need is your iDevice and Physical Exam Essentials.

The text is too small to read. cannot change the font size.

Needs MSK section!!!
     
by Cafx1991 · October 17, 2016

Users have been asking for an MSK section for a while, how hard is it to add it? The MSK exams are one of the most commonly used and this app is just not complete without it.

Needs updating
     
by Shawnsk23 · July 7, 2016

It's a solid app for beginning practitioners. Need to update the app overall and there is no musculoskeletal section. Please update

Waste of money
     
by Ugocentric · November 20, 2012

The material in this app is way way way too basic to be useful to anyone with even any basic training in medicine. Not useful at all.

Not a good app
     
by Donellxy · March 4, 2012

Not advise for any kinda human referance

Too basic for price
     
by Xts · March 4, 2013

I can find all of this info free. I thought there'd be more to the app. No details, no explanations. Really? I've wasted my money! :( this app needs a trial/demo so we don't get suckered into buying something we won't benefit from. USE CAUTION before DL'ing this one. Make sure it's all you need because in my opinion, this is more like a simple preface. Incomplete structure.

HATE IT
     
by Collage student · March 26, 2012

This is far worst app ever, very insuficient for studying, revising or just to recall. STAY AWAY. I would like a refund! I have many handouts are better than that, I knew I shouldn't have wasted my money on this!
