Abstract
Objective: To provide a video tutorial on the use of the Talking Physical Exam (TPE) in clinical practice.
Animals: Any dog or cat receiving a physical examination in the presence of a client.
Methods: The TPE consists of the veterinary professional verbally describing what is being examined on a patient during a companion animal physical examination and relaying normal and abnormal findings to veterinary clients.
Results: The TPE is a communication tool for supporting client engagement and enhancing client understanding during the companion animal physical examination.
Clinical relevance: The TPE is a practical tool that can assist veterinary professionals with engaging clients and has the potential to increase the value of the companion animal physical examination for veterinary clients in clinical practice.
