The pupil is the one part of the nervous system you can watch work with nothing more than a penlight — and most of what it tells you is missed in a routine exam. Physical Examination 201 is the two-hour course on current concepts in pupillometry: the anatomy of the pupil and its critical functions, the standard methodologies of routine pupillary examination, the common pupil abnormalities and their clinical implications, the "edge" effect at the periphery of the pupil, how modern technology sharpens pupillary evaluation, what pupillary findings can indicate about broader health, and the latest research on pupillary assessment in chiropractic care.
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN — chiropractic neurologist and Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology — builds the course around the pupil's role in the nervous system and its significance in clinical chiropractic care, with practical tips for employing the penlight in the chiropractic pupillary exam and specific ways an understanding of pupillometry can advance chiropractic care. It is the opening course of the CCEDseminars Physical Examination series.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does Physical Examination 201 cover?
Pupillometry — also called pupillary assessment or the pupil exam — as a chiropractic examination skill: the anatomy of the pupil, the standard techniques of routine pupillary examination, the common pupil abnormalities and their clinical implications, the "edge" effect at the periphery of the pupil, the technology that sharpens pupillary evaluation, what pupillary findings can indicate about broader health, the practical use of the penlight, and the latest research on pupillary assessment in chiropractic care.
Who teaches the course, and who is it for?
Michael Hall, DC, FIACN — chiropractic neurologist and Fellow of the International Academy of Chiropractic Neurology — teaches the 2-hour course. It is written for Doctors of Chiropractic who want to get more from the pupillary exam they already perform: a sharper read of pupillary responses, a clearer sense of which findings matter, and the current literature behind them.
What does a chiropractor learn from shining a penlight in my eyes?
The way the pupils respond — their size, symmetry, and reaction to light — is a direct window on the nervous system. The course covers the standard pupillary assessment techniques, the abnormalities a chiropractor looks for and what they can imply, and the practical use of the penlight in the chiropractic exam, so that findings lead to more precise diagnoses and better patient outcomes.
