On any given foot, a '''pedal pulse''' can be checked in either one of two places: the dorsalis pedis artery and the posterior tibila artery. While checking the '''pedal pulse''' is done with ease for most nurses and health care professionals, it tends to be a challenge among [[July Intern|interns]] who have difficulty spotting a patient's legs especially when several layers of blankets come into play.<ref>[http://gomerblog.com/2017/02/pedal-pulses/ Intern Tries to Palpate Pedal Pulses, Can’t Locate Legs]</ref> Thanks to the diligence of residency programs and the [[ACGME]], most residents are able to locate a '''pedal pulse''' by the time they graduate.
