!!!!!!!

Thank you! Health Assessment has been giving me a hard time. There's so much to keep in mind and a lot of the skills aren't exactly easy to learn (hello percussion and fundoscopy). I have my comprehensive checkout in a few weeks, and I will definitely be sure to take advantage of these resources.

Glad these are helpful to you. As a new Health Assessment instructor, these have been a lifesaver. I need to stay at least one step ahead of the students at all times

Hello, Thanks so much for this gold mine, will I be able to access it for a long period? So much of it will be so useful to me, I would hate to lose it.

Unfortunately, there is no guarantee with anything on the Internet, as to how long the material will be available.
