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!
