Professor of medicine and best-selling author ABRAHAM VERGHESE is a strong advocate for “hands-on” medicine. His dedication to the art of the physical exam led to the development of the Medical School’s Stanford 25, an initiative designed to showcase and teach 25 fundamental physical exam skills and their diagnostic benefits to interns.
In this recently posted TEDGlobal talk, delivered in Edinburgh in July, Verghese discusses the importance of the time-honored physical exam, bedside chat and the power of informed observation in modern medicine.
