Synopsis:

One’s selection of instruments reflects upon one’s level of experience, professional confidence, clinical knowledge, and most significantly, the decisions one’s instructors made when they chose the basic instrument kit in school. But the demands on your clinical skills have increased since you were introduced to the fundamentals of instrumentation. Review the old traditional (but tried and true) instruments, and compare their style with new instrument designs. One’s ability to choose the most appropriate instruments for the unique needs of each individual patient will increase the effectiveness and efficiency of one’s therapeutic skills. Take this one hour journey to decide if you are using the latest and greatest instruments, or if you have exactly what you need to offer your patients the best care possible...
