Describe how you would palpate the acromion process AND the coracoid process of the scapula. Acromion process of the scapula: find the bony prominence at the superior-most aspect of your shoulder/acromial region.  This is the acromioclavicular joint, the lateral portion of which is the acromion process.  You could also locate the spine of the scapula posteriorly and then fingerwalk laterally/superiorly along the spine until you reach the AC joint.  Corocoid process of the scapula: this is a bony prominence located inferior to the lateral curvature of the clavicle.  The best way to palpate this is to fingerwalk laterally on the anterior aspect of your clavicle until you reach the lateral, concave curvature.  The coracoid process can be felt as a bump inferior to the lateral curvature of the clavicle.
