We value your time. So when one of our modules is not offering you guys with a good return on the investment of your time, we're going to fix it. From the initial reviews, this was the worst module, so we've completely overhauled it and recorded a new podcast to fit your needs better. You will listen to Doc Baines talk about abdominal pain in a deployed environment focusing on the following TLOs:
TLOs
Understand which diagnostic capabilities are important and available for a deployed medic.
Be familiar with the basic landmarks of the abdominal exam and the conditions associated with pain in certain regions.
Understand the significance of exam findings consistent with peritonitis or pain out of proportion.
Have a working knowledge of female-specific emergency conditions of the abdomen and pelvis
Understand a list of “red flags” for abdominal pain that should always prompt consultation with higher medical echelons and evacuation.
We'll provide you with a handy reference about the module including info on the key abdominal conditions we want you to know, and then you'll take an entirely case-based test. I would encourage you to look over the cheat sheet before starting the test and quickly review the highlights of any condition not super familiar to you. We hope you enjoy!
