Auscultation resources

Is there some secret trove online auscultation resource that I am unaware of? We are having an OSCE that is almost all auscultation and yet we have no access to the sims and our library somehow let their license expire so we have like 4 physical CD roms to share amount several hundred students who need them. I don't mind paying for a resource if it is worthwhile.

The key to heart auscultation in real life is to know when to order an echo. The key on a test is to memorize the buzz words. 😉

When I was on cardiology in residency they gave me an audio book type thing called Heart Songs (I think) that was just tons of different heart sounds. It was fantastic.

Zanki has a subdeck with heart auscultations, has sounds too of course.

Memorize that page in FA that shows where each sound is loudest. If you can do that and just figure out what’s systolic vs diastolic, you should be gtg.

Unfortunately, the patient presentation doesn't help w/ this OSCE b/c thanks to covid we are basically being given a sound only and then asked to identify it from one of 5 choices. There's no "this is where the murmur is loudest" or clues to pneumonia.

MurmurPro app. It’s cheap and got me through med school, my medicine months in residency, and Step 3.

That doesn't seem fair.

Just focus on the PMI (point of maximal information). Put the listening thing over the xiphoid and you’ll hear heart sounds, lung sounds and bowel sounds all at once. Three exams in 1 half assed test that realistically won’t change your plan to order an X-ray anyway.
