Penn Medicine recognizes that the bridge between Radiology and Orthopedics is a key component to the success of providing our patients with the best quality of care. This teamwork becomes even more significant when dealing with complications and with controversial issues. Penn Radiology's 3-day CME course will cover, in-tandem, topics in musculoskeletal medicine including trauma, joint replacement, sports medicine, and spine from the radiologist and orthopaedist point of view. Imaging of these topics in all modalities including ultrasound-guided intervention is included. Each clinical talk delivered by a radiologist and orthopaedist will address, "What does the Radiologist need to know?" and "What do I need to know from the Radiologist?" Each session includes a multidisciplinary panel composed of internationally renowned radiologists and orthopedic surgeons who will debate on "How I do it”  They will also discuss interesting cases submitted by our course participants.
