    Stethoscope Skills Course Overview:

    This intensive one-day workshop provides participants with a review of pertinent anatomy and physiology, use of audio-visual aids to identify normal and abnormal auscultatory findings, periods for practice of skills, and the confidence to do a thorough and accurate assessment of heart sounds, breath sounds, and abdominal sounds.

    Why you should attend this course:

    Assessment is the first step in providing patient care.  In every setting the health care provider is call ed upon to determine the condition of the patient.  If the stethoscope is used properly, the listener will feel as if he is looking inside of the body; but rather than looking with the eyes, this is looking with the ears!
