Radiographic examinations can be performed using digital imaging or conventional film. (fda.gov)
FINRA's3
FINRA's examination program plays a central role in supporting FINRA's mission of investor protection and market integrity. (finra.org)
A main component of this program is FINRA's examinations of broker-dealers ("firms" or "members") that are conducted on a regular cycle basis: each firm is examined at least once every four years, and many are examined even more frequently. (finra.org)
FINRA's new/expanded key findings involve hot topics such as supervision, digital communication, know-your-customer rules, cybersecurity, and business continuity plans. (gtlaw.com)
20174
Using National Survey of Family Growth (NSFG) data through 2017 for women aged 15-44, a new NCHS report describes trends overall and by age since 1988 in the receipt of pelvic examinations in the past year, and differences by Hispanic origin and race, education, poverty status, and health insurance status for 2015-2017. (cdc.gov)
A decreasing trend in the receipt of pelvic examinations in the past 12 months among women aged 15-44 was observed from 1988 through 2017. (cdc.gov)
During 2015-2017, receipt of a pelvic examination in the last 12 months was highest among non-Hispanic black women, followed by non-Hispanic white women and Hispanic women. (cdc.gov)
During 2015-2017, receipt of a pelvic examination in the past 12 months increased with increasing levels of education. (cdc.gov)
Advised to conduct1
The dentist is advised to conduct a clinical examination, consider the patient's signs, symptoms and oral and medical histories, as well as consider the patient's vulnerability to environmental factors that may affect oral health. (fda.gov)
Physical18
PURPOSE The increased availability of reliable diagnostic technologies has stimulated debate about the utility of physical examination in contemporary clinical practice. (annfammed.org)
METHODS Guided by principles of phenomenology, we conducted in-depth qualitative interviews exploring 16 family physicians' experiences of conducting physical examination: 7 (44%) men and 9 women (56%) whose clinical experience varied widely, from 11 (69%) urban and 5 (31%) rural locations. (annfammed.org)
Physical examination allowed physicians to use their own bodies to experience patients' illnesses. (annfammed.org)
Performing physical examination was integral to being a family doctor because it promoted rapport and developed trust. (annfammed.org)
Physical examination contributes to relationship-centered care in family practice. (annfammed.org)
The role of physical examination in contemporary medicine is debated 1 - 4 because clinical skills, like other aspects of practice, are being scrutinized for supporting evidence. (annfammed.org)
Critics draw attention to the low diagnostic accuracy of physical examination 4 and ask whether it is an outdated practice. (annfammed.org)
As technology has gained ground and graduates have questioned the utility of physical examination, 5 they have become progressively less confident about performing it. (annfammed.org)
6 , 7 Meanwhile, proponents argue that graduates' declining physical examination skills are increasing health care costs by making misdiagnosis more likely. (annfammed.org)
The debate about whether physical examination should be taught and how it can contribute to practice has taken place in the rational and objective territory of clinical decision making. (annfammed.org)
Advocates for physical examination argue that it is a cornerstone of medicine, a privileged human interaction 14 within an age-old tradition of laying on hands. (annfammed.org)
15 In support of this perspective, the experiences of both patients 16 , 17 and physicians 18 suggest that physical examination serves a healing purpose as well as a diagnostic one. (annfammed.org)
We reasoned that the debate about physical examination would be more balanced if we articulated valid, subjective reasons for performing it. (annfammed.org)
This qualitative study focused on family physicians' experience of physical examination by using a phenomenological approach. (annfammed.org)
The starting point of this approach is to consider a phenomenon, in this case physical examination, and question what features make the phenomenon what it is. (annfammed.org)
Observations4
Some firms have requested that FINRA make generally available a summary of observations from the cycle examination program, so that they can further improve their compliance functions based on the experiences of other firms, and better anticipate and address potential areas of concern well before their own cycle examinations. (finra.org)
This report focuses on selected observations from recent examinations that FINRA considers worth highlighting due to their potential impact on investors and markets or the frequency with which they occur. (finra.org)
In addition to findings, the 2019 Report advances further than years past and consists of "observations. (gtlaw.com)
This GT Alert highlights certain of the new findings and observations within the 2019 Report. (gtlaw.com)
METHODS1
Are all findings of validations (both validation of examination methods and validation of equipment) documented in validation reports? (who.int)
Firms2
FINRA publishes a report yearly to highlight its examination "findings" (i.e., findings of violations committed by member firms) detected throughout the year. (gtlaw.com)
Given the findings with respect to supervision, member firms may consider taking two practical steps to mitigate the risk of future violations. (gtlaw.com)
Practices1
Initially, faculty planned to conduct the traditional live, in-person oral examinations based on best practices utilized for the past 10 years by the certified nurse anesthesia (CRNA) program at the same institution. (acm.org)
Clinical1
The guidelines are not substitutes for clinical examinations and health histories. (fda.gov)
National Health2
The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) is a periodic survey conducted by NCHS. (cdc.gov)
SOURCE: NCHS, National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2011-2014. (cdc.gov)
Report8
In connection with each of these examinations, FINRA prepares a report-which is available only to the relevant firm-addressing certain aspects of the firm's compliance with securities rules and regulations. (finra.org)
Although the 2019 Report repeats many of the findings highlighted in previous years with respect to important topics such as suitability, anti-money laundering, segregation of assets, and best execution, the 2019 Report introduces new findings and expands upon findings made in previous reports.

Health3
The guidelines titled, "The Selection of Patients for X-Ray Examination" were first developed in 1987 by a panel of dental experts convened by the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). (fda.gov)
Prior to the pandemic, a family nurse /women's health nurse practitioner (FNP/WHNP) program aimed to develop and implement an oral examination as an evaluation methodology. (acm.org)

Medical1
Oral examinations in academia have been around for centuries, dating back to the early years of Cambridge and Oxford [ 9 ] and for decades in medical professions [ 7 , 10 , 11 ]. (acm.org)
Future1
FINRA welcomes feedback on how we could make future reports on examination findings more useful. (finra.org)
Oral7
Examinations can be written, oral, or a combination of both forms. (acm.org)
Compared to written examination, the benefit of oral examination is that the evaluator can witness the test taker's thought process in real-time [ 2 , 3 ]. (acm.org)
In the United States, oral examinations are utilized in pre-licensure and licensed professions [ 4 , 5 ]. (acm.org)
In a review of the literature concerning graduate nursing programs, the authors of this article only came across one article about oral examinations in CRNA programs [ 11 ]. (acm.org)
The authors' primary goal was to assess the applicability and feasibility of virtually conducting oral examinations. (acm.org)
This article aims to reduce the gap in the literature as it pertains to virtual oral examination usage in nursing programs. (acm.org)
Execution of the FNP/WHNP virtual oral examination required consideration of several factors. (acm.org)
Reports1
Findings in this area included insufficient written supervisory procedures (WSPs) to address new or amended rules, limited branch supervision, limited internal inspections, insufficient supervision of accounts, insufficient supervisions of account statements, and insufficient supervision of consolidated account reports and other forms.
