%X Prior to 2007, we taught the abdominal examination in a hospital based group to 40 students, at one hospital. We used volunteer patients, small groups, repetition, and required faculty development sessions. In 2007, our medical school changed its ¡°Introduction to Physical Examination¡± session so that the entire class was to be taught in a geographically central session. Our hospital was selected to lead the abdominal examination portion of the session
