Scratch code will work if contact with wolters kluwers they will provide it thanks

As a Cardiologist who passed his boards 20 yrs back, this book was like going back to your medical school days. Covers every aspect of clinical examination. Has lots of visual learning aids in the form of photographs, algorithms etc. Also there is a section on health promotion in each system which is icing on the cake. Best book on clinical examination!

Like that it’s small and easy to take anywhere. Great little reference book for preparing for clinical rotations and for review.

“Bate’s Pocket Guide to Physical Examination” has been an incredibly valuable resource for me. It provides the essentials of clinical assessment into a compact and easy-to-carry format. I’ve bought it to a flight with me and it’s not heavier than a water bottle. The explanations are clear, concise, and practical! Not overwhelming like a full textbook, yet still thorough enough to guide accurate technique and clinical reasoning. I love how quickly I can reference exam sequences, normal findings, and red flags when I’m reviewing my skills. I got it for our advanced assessment class. It’s become a go-to tool during skills practice. And I’m sure I’ll be using it for clinical rotations too. If you’re a nursing or medical student, or even a practicing clinician who wants a reliable, quick refresher, this pocket guide is worth every penny. It makes learning and applying physical assessment feel more approachable.

This has a code in it to access the online component, which then gives you access to the online book. Buying a code for the online component alone is more than this. So, this is a good recourse and great buy for your money.
