SIS: The Three-minute Back Exam

Low back pain is a common reason patients seek medical care, and busy clinicians need an efficient method for evaluation. Physical examination textbooks used in PA programs often present numerous tests, movements, and activities, each targeting specific structures or systems. Conducting an examination this way is time-consuming and often requires the patient to move excessively. This presentation will demonstrate an efficient, evidence-based physical exam for patients with back pain that can justify imaging or referrals. This session is geared toward early-career PAs or those interested in validating their current practices.
