Sim's Position in Clinical Skills Checklists

The Sim's position is similar to the lateral position but with the patient's undermost arm positioned behind their back for greater accessibility during examinations. It allows clinicians to more easily assess and treat areas that may be difficult to reach in other positions. The Sim's position provides increased exposure while maintaining patient comfort and modesty during physical exams.
