Health Assessment

students practice on manikins in hospital beds

In our Clinical Skills and Assessment rooms, students from multiple disciplines hone their oral and physical assessment skills.

They practice patient interviews, including data collection and history taking to determine health status, present illness and medical history, and establish rapport and the all-too-important bedside manner.

Under the mentorship of expert faculty, students conduct physical assessments such as cognitive function, observation and vital sign measurement, as well as inspection, palpation, auscultation and percussion.
