Today we practiced inta-oral examinations. Olivia was my pod partner so I got to practice on her. She was very helpful and very critical - which was SO good because it helped push me to make certain I performed a thorough examination.
There are a lot of terms associated with intra-oral examinations. For instance, if you find an abnormality you have to distinguish it by size, shape, color, etc. Naming the lesions is what "stumps" me the most... I will have to start memorizing them! It will be nice when I get the hang of it and can spit them out left and right! ;)
