The Conscious Clinician Podcast
Health & Fitness:Medicine
In this episode, we continue with part 2 of the SOAP series: the Objective Exam. Most of us learned explicitly and implicitly from our training that the purpose of the exam is for us (the provider) to learn about the patient's body in order to create an appropriate plan of care. However, we’ve realized that the patient is actually learning about their body during the exam as well!
Everything that we do during the exam process is teaching the patient something about their body. They are internalizing our language and reactions - for better or worse! So in this episode, we focus on tips to help us center the patient during the exam, to tailor each exam to the individual, and empower them with the exam process. Tune in next week for Assessment tips!
