In this video I'm going to show you what I think is the most effective way to present patients from the point of view of the listener. This information will be helpful for everyone because "how we present patients" is critical at every level from the student to the intern, chief resident, fellow and attending.

We're going to cover a few clinical cases as well in this video and I'll give you examples throughout the video of exactly what you could say in particular scenarios.
