Musculoskeletal Medicine

---

This is NEW!! MSK issues are some of the most common problems that clinicians are presented with across all sites of service. From back pain to knee injuries, this review will help you improve your patient care!

Co-developed by practicing family, occupational, and sports medicine physicians from Interstate Postgraduate Medical Association (IPMA), the American College of Occupational and Environmental Medicine (ACOEM) and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine (AMSSM), this ABFM approved, new Knowledge Skills Assessment (KSA)  provides family physicians the opportunity to brush up on their knowledge in PRIMARY CARE Musculoskeletal Medicine.

• It is great education, presented in a fun and interactive way.

The study slide deck is prepared so experienced faculty can tailor it to easily fit your needs. 

IPMA has a variety of ways we can work together - Contact us for pricing!

• Purchase the PowerPoint teaching deck to use with your members in a way that makes the most sense for your group; complete with 60 multiple-choice, single answer questions with critiques and references.  
• Employ IPMA experts for either in-person or live-virtual events. Faculty present the teaching deck, carefully review all questions and critiques, while engaging in thoughtful discussions on best practices. 
• IPMA can help with event management items: creating a Zoom link and running the virtual event(s) and sending a post-event survey.
• Have IPMA submit participation information directly to ABFM once the activity is completed.
