Step 3: Set that specialty’s normal findings

Normal findings are kept for each specialty. Edit them right below the specialty, then choose how normals are written. See Objective normals.

Need different sections for your specialty?

Choose Duplicate to Edit on the SOAP Note. It copies this specialty’s physical exam and your normal findings into your own template, where you can change every section. See Build a custom template.
