Attend this seminar and learn to identify the different variants in the cardiac, respiratory and neurological assessments. National speaker and expert, Diane Wrigley, BS, PA-C, has developed a CD that accurately plays both abnormal and normal heart and lung sounds. Diane will teach you the origin and significance of these sounds utilizing the auditory portion of the CD. Differential diagnoses are considered and a systematic six-part neurological assessment is reviewed and demonstrated for you.
Case studies will be presented for discussion to help reinforce the physical assessment skills and listening techniques. Diane will also illustrate the proper methods to document your assessments and findings. You will feel confident leaving this seminar with information you can utilize for your future patient assessments.

Diane S. Wrigley, BS, PA-C, currently works in family practice and emergency room settings in Maine's mid-coast hospitals. A Physician Assistant for 27 years, she has seen all ages from the young pediatric patients to the very elderly patients. Her clinical experience includes preventative health care, as well as managing acute problems and chronic illnesses such as diabetes, COPD, asthma and heart disease. Diane's years in a broad-based family medicine practice prepared her for being the provider in a 15-bed coastal hospital ER. Her responsibilities included being the house officer for the in-patients as well as taking call for five out-lying family medicine practices after hours. She is also an adjunct faculty at the University of New England Physician Assistant program, lecturing and precepting PA students in a rural health care rotation.
Diane's current practice is in a rural setting, where many assessment and treatment modalities found in large metropolitan areas are not readily available. Because of that, she has developed strong critical thinking skills, plus excellent assessment skills, as she cares for patients from start to finish. Diane's strategies and techniques have systematically and comprehensively improved patient outcomes.
Diane received her BS from Tufts University in Medford, Massachusetts, and her Physician Assistant certificate from University of California, Davis, Medical School, Physician Assistant/Nurse Practitioner Program.

She has been a lecturer in the Ship's Medicine Course at the Maine Maritime Academy, where she trained ship medical officers to render medical aid when out to sea.
