Your abil- ity to gather a sensitive and nuanced history and to perform a thorough and accurate examination deepens your patient relationships, focuses your patient assessment, and sets the direction of your clinical thinking. The quality of your history and physical examination governs your next steps with the patient and guides your choices from the initially bewildering array of secondary testing and technology. Over the course of becoming an accomplished clinician, you will polish these important relational and clinical skills for a lifetime. As you enter the realm of patient assessment, you begin integrating the es- sential elements of clinical care: empathic listening; the ability to interview patients of all ages, moods, and backgrounds; the techniques for examining the different body systems; and, finally, the process of clinical reasoning.

By studying the subsequent chapters of the book and perfecting the skills of examination and history taking described, you will cross into the world of patient assessment— gradually at first, but then with growing satisfaction and expertise. After you work through this chapter to chart the tasks ahead, you will be directed by subsequent chapters in your journey to clinical competence.
