By	Ekiti G. Mesumbe "ekiti g. mesumbe" (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is well writen and I was particularly impressed with the standardize Patients grading checklist.This checklist was very helpful in focusing my thought process during patient encounter. I was not able to perform all of the suggested physical examinations in each patient encounter due to time limits.
