Workshop Information
A. Point of Care Ultrasound Workshop *(SimLab on the UVM Campus - Sunday, February 9)

B. Physical Exam Skills Workshop (at The Lodge at Spruce Peak - Monday, February 10)
The bedside physical examination is an essential component of excellent patient care. Physical examination findings add diagnostic data that enhance clinical reasoning at the bedside and help providers select high value studies.
In addition, the physical exam itself can help foster trust between clinicians and patients. This workshop will help providers refresh their physical examination skill set, understand the evidence behind various physical exam findings,
and effectively collaborate with patients despite the challenges posed by the fast pace of inpatient medical care. The workshop will include case-based and hands-on learning that will demonstrate how the physical examination improves
care delivery and is the foundation of the provider-patient relationship.
