"As a medical student, I can certainly say that I probably don't know nearly as much physical exam technique as Sir William Osler taught his students - so I need an app for that! iOrtho+ is an app that has descriptions and videos of musculoskeletal physical exams for those of us who have a lot of physical examination skills to learn."

This site at the University of Virginia has links to a number of physical examination videos. These are Quicktime files so you will need the Quuicktime player to run them. These can be used in education under the Creative Commons Licence. University of Virginia have had these resources peer reviewed by MedEd Portal.

ePBLMs are actual patient cases in CD format that permits free inquiry. The learner can ask any question of the patient in any sequence and get the patient's response and perform any item of the physical examination in any sequence and learn the result as in the real clinical situation. Any laboratory and diagnostic test can be ordered in any sequence as well. Whatever can be done with the actual patient on history and physical and the ordering of laboratory tests can be done with the ePBLM. A separate "User's Guide" provided with each ePBLM can be used with any of the ePBLMs in the series and provides the key for free inquiry.

"Sharable free cases created by any author from any institution at any time. Simple non-linear navigation while authoring or learning. Traditional case components such as history (hx), physical examination (pe), etc. are clickable tabs. Flexible searches are created by authors. More keywords for less advanced learners, fewer keywords for more advanced learners Learner-built medical record created on the fly. Review is easy. Immediate feedback is provided by comparing the learner-assigned value with the author's value. Delayed feedback is provided during a final review and the summary. Sortable diagnoses forming a differential are created by the author and learner and compared. Non-linear navigation includes a "Tx" tab so problems can be treated while other data is gathered."
