Medical students should:
Get to Know the Tools: Begin by watching experienced doctors use instruments like the stethoscope and otoscope. Pay attention to how they hold the tools and listen to the sounds they make.
Practice, Practice, Practice: Make time to practice regularly. For example, take turns listening to each other's heart sounds so you can learn to tell the difference between normal and abnormal sounds.
Ask for Feedback: Talk to your mentors. They can help by giving helpful advice that can improve your skills and build your confidence as you learn.
Remember, it takes time to get really good at this!
