Primary Care Orthopaedics 2020 (CME VIDEOS)

Discover New Treatments
Primary care providers are often on the front lines when it comes to the initial diagnosis and management of orthopaedic problems. The University of Chicago Primary Care Orthopaedics online CME course details how to diagnose the most common conditions, with lectures and demonstration workshops covering trauma, spine, foot and ankle, pediatrics, sports medicine, upper extremity, and adult hip and knee.

– Select optimal imaging modalities and interpret x-rays and MRIs
– Splint and immobilize both upper and lower extremeties
– Distinguish whether a patient should be referred to an orthopaedist
– initiate non-operative management of common orthopaedic conditions
And more…
