I'm about to start my first clinical in outpatient ortho. Does anyone have any recommendations about what to have with me on my clipboard? Any charts/documents that you found helpful to refer to?
Thanks!

To give you a copy of the tests without explanation of how to perform and interpret them wouldn't give the system the due diligence it deserves. The IAOM covers each joint individually through CEU courses. They have a DVD series that is excellent, which is probably a more realistic option than attending courses in person (it is a significant investment, but will provide you with more useful orthopedic information than most PT programs). They also have remote lectures than can be played at your leisure (for a fee). for more information visit: http://www.iaom-us.com/learn-experience/courses/
