Procedural skills are more important than ever for practicing physicians. The clinician's skill and judgment in doing a procedure affect patient safety and comfort as well as the quality of the diagnostic samples. With managed care, generalists anticipate doing more procedures rather than fewer. At the same time, accountability is increasing, focusing more attention on credentialling and monitoring of outcomes. The seven procedures on this CD-ROM are those required by the American Board of Internal Medicine as essential to the practice of Internal Medicine. These are the basic procedures for obtaining body fluids for diagnosis and for access for medication and drainage.

This CD-ROM is part of an integrated multimedia learning tool. It uses video movies, sound, color illustrations, and text to present techniques and in-depth information about the seven procedures. Training in the technical and cognitive aspects of procedures is not always available when you need it, and knowledge about indications, complications, and interpretation of results is critical to expert and safe performance. For these reasons, we have made the program both flexible and comprehensive, allowing you to use the program for in-depth study or quick review. The accompanying Reference Manual covers much the same material, but more concisely. Use the Manual for a quick review and a place to keep notes. Use the videos and the CD-ROM text and cases for in-depth learning and review of techniques.

The best way to learn how to do procedures is to observe them being done. We have included over 40 video clips, showing how to do the procedures using different techniques. Hypertext links let you explore each topic in more depth. You can print out items for your own use such as information sheets for patients and nursing staff, patient consent forms, lists of equipment needed, differential diagnoses, and tests commonly ordered. You can modify these forms to fit your needs before printing. For review, check out the quizzes and the clinical case vignettes that are coordinated by section to cover the same material in case example form.
