Practical Tips for a Smooth 1‑Hour Exam
Prepare the room in advance: Have all equipment ready (stethoscope, blood pressure cuff, otoscope, reflex hammer, etc.).
Use checklists to avoid missing steps; check each item as you complete it.
Keep the patient informed about what you’re doing and why—this improves cooperation and speeds up the process.
Prioritize critical areas if time is tight: airway, breathing, circulation, neurological status.
If a patient is stable but has a history of cardiovascular disease, focus on cardiac exam and risk‑factor assessment first.
