Love these videos. Are all these tests learned in PA school, clinicals, or on the job? Thanks!

Thank you for viewing. I am glad you are finding the videos helpful. To answer you question- it depends. I learned a lot of the exams as a certified athletic trainer prior to going to PA school. I also teach them in the orthopedic physical exam lab at my alma mater. Even then, most don’t become comfortable with them until use in actual practice.
