OVERVIEW

This conference is tailored to the front-line primary care provider. This includes primary care physicians in family medicine, internal medicine and pediatrics; followed by physical therapy, athletic trainers, resident physicians and medical students interested in sports medicine, nurse practitioners and physician assistants. Because musculoskeletal problems are one of the most common medical problems that these practitioners see in clinic, PCPs would benefit from having high confidence and competence in this area. This conference is aimed at improving the knowledge, attitudes, and skills of PCPs when caring for musculoskeletal problems.
