Incidental findings in peer neurological examination

Physical examination skills training is a central element of the undergraduate medical education. A frequently used approach is peer physical examination (PPE), in which medical students examine each other, or the instructor examines a student [1]. PPE avoids patient discomfort, allows additional skills practice and the recognition of normal examination features. The last point is particularly useful when learning the neurological examination, which requires intensive training for the identification of what is or not pathological [2].
