Hands On. Developing Your Differential Diagnostic Skills. a Workbook for Demonstrating Continuing Professional Development

Description

Continuing professional development in the mainstream manual therapies: physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic, is now a mandatory requirement to ensure continued registration with the relevant professional body. All the professional registration bodies identify the importance of continuous self-directed learning and learning with others. This workbook can be a practical tool in identifying areas for further study and once completed, will form a valuable part of the therapist's continuing professional development portfolio.

This workbook is divided into sections, each dealing with a different aspect of the consultation process, covering the general observation of the patient, aspects of the case history, physical evaluation and specific systemic examination procedures, enabling the practitioner to reflect upon their personal differential diagnostic criteria for both medical disease and musculoskeletal dysfunction.
