Inside this resource
Orthopaedic trauma and radiology foundations
The course opens with G. Scott Stacy, MD on orthopaedic radiology — reading X-rays and MRIs in a clinical setting. Jason A. Strelzow, MD and Daryl Dillman, MD cover adult lower and upper extremity fractures, while Rex Haydon, MD, PhD highlights the findings that should never be missed. Michael J. Lee, MD and Mostafa El Dafrawy, MBBCh address cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine pathology, giving primary care clinicians the imaging and anatomy framework they need before referring.
Regional joint management — hip, knee, shoulder, and hand
Sara Wallace, MD, MPH dismantles the top ten myths about hip arthritis. Kenneth Chakour, MD evaluates degenerative knee problems. Megan Conti Mica, MD and Lewis Shi, MD tackle common elbow and non-sports shoulder conditions, while Jeffrey G. Stepan, MD, MSc covers acute and chronic hand and wrist injuries. Christopher Hicks, MD delivers a spotlight lecture on ultrasound in upper extremity evaluation — bridging imaging and physical examination.
Sports medicine and pediatric orthopaedics
Sherwin S.W. Ho, MD addresses the athlete’s hip and sports shoulder injuries. Aravind Athiviraham, MD covers common adult sports knee injuries, and Holly Benjamin, MD, FACSM presents pediatric sports injuries. The pediatric orthopaedic module includes developmental hip disorders, lower extremity problems, bone and joint infections, and spinal deformity — topics primary care providers encounter regularly but rarely receive dedicated training on.
Hands-on demonstration workshops
The course includes multiple live demonstration workshops on spine examination, foot and ankle examination, large joint injection, shoulder injection, hand and wrist examination, small joint injection, and upper and lower extremity splinting and casting. These practical sessions are taught by subspecialty faculty including Sherwin S.W. Ho, MD, Lewis Shi, MD, Kelly Hynes, MD, and Jennifer Moriatis Wolf, MD — translating lecture content into clinical skills.

Samuel P. –
Excellent board-prep resource. The Q&A sessions after each module were helpful for self-assessment. I used this alongside my family medicine rotation and it covered everything I needed.
Brian H. –
The demonstration workshops on joint injection and splinting are what set this course apart. Watching the faculty perform large joint and small joint injections in real time boosted my confidence immediately.
Rachel M. –
Thorough coverage of the orthopaedic topics primary care physicians actually encounter. The trauma modules and radiology sessions complemented each other well. At 14.2 GB, the download is large but manageable.
Jennifer K. –
This is exactly what I needed as a primary care doc managing MSK complaints daily. The foot and ankle injury sessions and the pediatric orthopaedics lectures filled genuine gaps in my training.
Maria G. –
Good breadth across orthopaedic subspecialties. The sports medicine and pediatric modules were well done. I would have liked more depth on adult hip and knee arthritis management beyond the myth-busting lecture.
Timothy L. –
Solid content overall but some of the Q&A sessions felt rushed. The core lectures are strong — particularly the shoulder, hand, and spine modules. Good value for a comprehensive review.
