James Cook University
James Cook University (JCU) and Northern Queensland Primary Health Network (NQPHN) are hosting a practical full-day workshop which will review helpful techniques in diagnosis and therapy of common musculoskeletal conditions.
The workshop aims to cover many aspects of musculoskeletal medicine from basic anatomy in the anatomy laboratory, to radiological interpretation, pain management, soft tissue injection training, and rehabilitation.
Participants will have the benefit of reviewing through cadaveric prosection the muscles and joints of the shoulder, knee, hip, and spine. Training in radiological assessment, strapping and soft tissue injection will be provided by expert faculty. Finally, rehabilitation and long-term management options will be reviewed and evaluated.
Relevance to clinical practice
Musculoskeletal injuries are a common presentation to general practice and emergency departments, with the majority of patients being managed by general practitioners in the general practice setting. This programme offers the opportunity for clinicians to up-skill and gain confidence in the management of musculoskeletal injuries.
Learning outcomes
- Apply an in-depth knowledge of the MSS (specifically joint anatomy) to clinical practice.
- Evaluate diagnostic imaging modalities of the MSS and apply to clinical practice.
