Bates’ Visual Guide is the gold standard for medical education institutions

We wanted to have a standardized video that all faculty and all of our hospital locations, all students could refer to. And Bates’ was sort of our gold standard for lack of a better word. This video resource was just fantastic.

Dr. Eric Nielsen; Faculty, Ross University

In addition to providing useful clinical and physical exam videos, Bates’ Visual Guide also provides the Communication and Interpersonal Skills series, which gives instruction on how to interact with patients of all kinds…This resource supports Belonging, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion with topics such as using patients’ preferred gender pronouns, interacting with LGBTQ+ patients, elderly patients, etc.

The videos in Bates’ Guide to Physical Examination provide a primer for Florida State University College of Medicine students to prepare for physical examinations of patients in both simulated and clinical environments…Students can review exam procedures for patients across the life course, from infants to older adults, and build on the foundational knowledge that Bates’ provides as they refine their physical examination skills in clerkships and clinical practice.
