As primary contact practitioners, chiropractors must be competent to screen patients for the presence of visceral disease. Special "clinical" preparation is required to provide students with adequate diagnostic skills in this area in view of the "select" group of patients frequenting chiropractic clinics--the vast majority of chiropractic patients present with musculoskeletal disorders or pain syndromes. The use of sound simulators and life-form models in a problem-based teaching format ensures that students are equipped to cope with any primary contact clinical eventuality in this area. The use of these sound simulators and models in the assessment of clinical competence furthermore enables the implementation of improved standardization and clinical relevance in clinical assessment.
作为初级接触从业者，整脊师必须有能力对患者进行内脏疾病筛查。鉴于光顾整脊诊所的患者群体具有“特殊性”——绝大多数整脊患者患有肌肉骨骼疾病或疼痛综合征，因此需要特殊的“临床”准备，以便为学生提供该领域足够的诊断技能。在基于问题的教学模式中使用声音模拟器和生命形态模型，可确保学生有能力应对该领域的任何初级接触临床意外情况。此外，在临床能力评估中使用这些声音模拟器和模型，能够在临床评估中实现更高的标准化和临床相关性。
