How detailed does the PE portion of CS need to be? Some people have mentioned that only doing the absolute basic steps is all that is needed (ex. only listening to heart sounds in 4 areas for entire CV exam or only listening to 6 areas on their back for entire Pulm exam) in order to pass. For those who have completed and passed CS, how much detail did you go into for some of the major system exams (CV, Pulm, HEENT, Abdominal, etc)? Also, is there a checklist somewhere that includes the required steps for each system?
