An interactive companion website features video clips that demonstrate practitioner-patient interactions and offers self-correcting exercises, an audio program, and flash cards.
The fifth edition is also updated with
• New topics, including muscles, pediatrics, heart disease, neurologic exams, and zika
• Nearly 300 classroom activities, including exposition activities to develop the presentational mode of communication
• Expanded vocabulary lists, sorted by frequency
