“Clinical Pearls to Enhance Your Medical Examination Skills”

This session will review the examination of medical conditions, including differences from a ‘focal’ orthopaedic examination and provide the learner with tips and clinical pearls to improve their examination techniques of common medical conditions. Signs, symptoms, and red flags for medical conditions will be reviewed, along with examination techniques for various systems and comorbidities.

  1. Differentiate between a focal orthopaedic examination and a medical examination of conditions that may affect the organ system.
  2. Recognize common pathological conditions, including signs and symptoms, differential diagnosis, and standard medical treatment for common non-musculoskeletal conditions in the physically active.
  3. Identify appropriate initial management of common disorders, conditions that may preclude the athlete from participation, and those that need referral and recognize which symptoms are self-limiting.
  4. Develop a plan with online resources to practice the examination of medical conditions.
