iTunes Reviews -
★★★★★ 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 mobile device, 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.

I love this app. I have it on my ipad and now on my android. I love that it is right on my phone so I can easily use it. Very important information that is better to have on a obone5 then carry around a book. So worth it.

Pictures are too small when clicking on them. When I click it, it shrinks even further so you can hardly see it. Also Annoyed I have to agree to terms everytime. Will rate higher if this is fixed. Medical professionals are quick and need fast reference without annoying and extra steps to get to the answers we need.

Neutral rating. I'm a medical student from AUS. Just realised we're taught the physical examination in a somewhat different order starting peripherally with the hands then top down for relevant signs. I'm sure it's a good app but wasn't so useful in my case. Just a heads up to other students studying here. :)

Lacking a musculoskeletal section but otherwise it does a great job of giving you the information you need without any useless fluff. Don't expect a full Bates textbook in here! The sections are organized by different exam modalities such as observation, palpation, percussion, and auscultation so it helps keep things in order in your head. Not sure what these other med students were expecting but I'm sure for their level this app is more than enough. Do they want to read an entire textbook on their phone??

I downloaded it a long time ago and rated it as a 1. "only a couple weeks into medical school. badly organized and expensive. should have spent my time studying and my money... on something else." I have now come back and it seems like the application has somehow been "unlocked." There is much more information available. It must have been a bad install with the previous experience. I haven't done much with it yet so for that reason I am going to bring my rating up to a neutral 3 until I can have a chance to use it.

I do enjoy the content in this app but the pictures are way too small, it allows you to press on the picture for an enlargement but the "enlargement" is just the same picture sized picture with a black background. Great work on the app, looking forward to some updates!
