Why is this course important?
Several studies indicate a lack of knowledge about orthopedic diseases among medical students and graduates. For instance, a study from India found that “95% of the students failed to show basic musculoskeletal competency”!
(https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2739498/)
This issue is not confined to one region. A UK study revealed “there is a deficit in undergraduate orthopaedic training within the UK which has only worsened in the last 20 years, leaving medical students and foundation doctors with a potentially significant lack of orthopaedic knowledge”.
(https://boneandjoint.org.uk/Article/10.1302/2633-1462.37.BJO-2022-0044.R1)
Given the high frequency of healthcare visits for musculoskeletal conditions, it's crucial to enhance the orthopedic knowledge and skills of medical graduates and GPs. This is the objective of our course.
