Delivered by experts in the field, the three-part Professional Diploma program in Musculoskeletal & Sports Medicine equips medical practitioners with the skills to diagnose and manage patients with musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries in primary care.
As musculoskeletal conditions account for over 14 per cent of general practice encounters and are the third most common reason for presentation, these ailments represent a major part of everyday GP work. These medical courses thus deliver tailored general practitioner training to address these conditions, with training available fully online or with an optional one-day practical workshop.
Helping you to meet patient demand and improve outcomes, the certificate courses will teach you how to diagnose joint and musculoskeletal pains and sports injuries – including weekend sportspeople and professional athletes – and identify their underlying causes, minimise risk for patients, and provide ongoing GP management of these conditions in primary care.
Gain an insight into musculoskeletal conditions and sports injuries commonly seen in primary care. Cement theory into practice with optional practical skills workshop available in select locations.
Advance your knowledge of musculoskeletal and sporting injuries and ailments. Manage these complaints to optimise your patients' outcomes.
Achieve expert knowledge in the management of musculoskeletal conditions and sporting injuries in primary care, including clinical case submissions.
The Musculoskeletal & Sports Medicine pathway is available fully online. With the Professional Certificate there is also an option to attend an accompanying practical workshop.
The modules are set up in such a way that you are not required to be online at specific times but can view and replay video lectures at your convenience. There are no face-to-face requirements for exams which can be conveniently completed online.
