Abstract:
With the development of sophisticated medical technologies, there has been a tendency to belittle the taking of the “history and physical, ” even in the field of cardiology. We have been holding cardiology case conferences for general medical residents, with the main focus on history taking and physical examination since 1992, so that all residents are able to provide a certain level of primary care for patients with cardiac diseases regardless of his or her future sub-speciality. We present our methods and the educational effect of these conferences.
