Description

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
