Educational Purpose Only

What Practicine IS:

• An educational supplement for clinical training and continuing education

• A replacement for clinical judgment or experience
• Medical advice or consultation

• Suitable for patient education or self-diagnosis

Not Medical Advice

Practicine content is designed to:

It is NOT intended to:

• Replace clinical assessment or examination
