(from the Greek semeion , meaning "sign") is the science of interpreting clinical signs. It is the bridge between a patient’s subjective complaint ("I feel dizzy") and an objective clinical fact ("orthostatic hypotension confirmed"). Yet, for generations of medical students, the practical learning of semiology—what we call "l’apprentissage pratique" —has remained a daunting challenge. How does one transition from memorizing lists of pathological signs in a textbook to detecting a subtle pleural friction rub or palpating a borderline hepatomegaly in a living, breathing patient?
