Philosophy:
I use the examination itself as a teaching moment, not only for trainees who might be with me during the visit, but also for the patient. I make a concerted effort to describe verbally what I am seeing on the examination in the second person so that the patient is included in the process, and gains information about what I am seeing and how to interpret signs. During the wrap-up to the visit, I make a conscious effort to go over the differential diagnosis, and discuss treatment options.
