When searching for a question in the History Taking section, please use keywords and not complete sentences to search for what you are looking for. The same applies when searching for Special Examinations; use specific test names or keywords if you know them. 

Please save your History Taking by clicking on Finish Patient History before closing the browser window. This saves your progress for when you return to the case.

Please make sure to save your physical examination BEFORE moving on to the next step. 


Once you have completed questions during History Taking, please document your findings in the
Patient Chart. This allows students and faculty to see the progress in each case and decision-making skills. Remember to use the patient chart to document your findings throughout the patient care continuum.
