Summary

As a foundation to a successful career in clinical medicine every physician needs to be able to establish a good rapport with the patient, accurately record all presenting symptoms and signs, and finally make an accurate diagnosis. The sequence of events and the thought-processes involved eventually become second nature, but the learning process is vital in ensuring the development of these skills.
