Given the current pandemic precautions, the physical examination sessions may run via a flipped classroom approach. Regardless of whether we do in person or virtual teaching, I would ask the residents to do the following:
- On the day, you will arrive for the session at 8AM at 60 Murray Street, 2nd floor, rheumatology division, room number 2-208A (large conference room).
- Here, we will maintain the same physical distancing rules, and within the hour session, I will answer any questions you have and also demonstrate the physical exam maneuvers by also utilizing the available models.
For the second week of physical examination session (lower limb): For the second week, the lower limb session, the steps are exactly the same as the above, only this time, please watch these corresponding videos
For both sessions, please also try to take time to go through some of the pictures from Dr. Lori Albert's rheumatology atlas, as per relevant region covered above: http://www.rheumexamatlas.com/
