- Description
- Opportunities for using inpatients for learning physical examination skills have decreased. ; In peer physical examination (PPE), students act as models for each other to learn skills in physical examination and other non-invasive procedures. ; PPE is extensively used and has high acceptability, but nevertheless poses some challenges. ; PPE may be less acceptable among culturally and linguistically diverse students. ; In the light of our findings and the published literature, best practice points are described.
