Medical Publications Review Stethographics CD-ROM

We were honored to receive favorable reviews by several medical journals in March. The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), said, “the reviewers strongly recommend the product as an excellent resource for self-paced or instructor-led instruction on breath sounds. It far exceeds other efforts in sound quality, graphics, and simplicity of use. It is well worth the money for allied health professionals, medical students, and residents struggling with interpretation of sounds in the chest.” Read full review...
The British medical publication GPnet’s reviewer observed, “Until I used this CD, I was not convinced that I had ever heard mitral stenosis. It is easier when systole and diastole are mapped out in front of you.”
