5th Annual Stanford 25 Bedside Teaching Symposium

We aim to build a sense of community among all those who attend and to increase both individual physical examination skills as well as the ability of those in attendance to teach and evaluate the clinical skills of their learners. We accomplish this with lectures by expert clinicians, live demonstrations and hands on workshops using both real and standardized patients.  This year we are excited to offer a poster session for attendees to present research and clinical cases that are related to bedside medicine and physical examination.
