Event Description
CASTED: Primary Care is the ‘hands-on’ orthopedics course designed specifically for family physicians.
During this 3-day course, you will learn:
- keys to an efficient orthopedic history
- ‘high yield’ physical exam tips, including a ‘hands-on’ exam review
- MSK management principles
- tips to identify ‘red flag’ patients
- indications for further investigations and referral
- how to perform various joint injections, including ‘hands-on’ practice with models
- practical, office-based immobilization options
CASTED: Primary Care combines 2-days of practical, case-based lectures with a separate 3rd day of ‘hands-on’ stations to review orthopedic principles and management in the context of a family doctor’s office.
Days 1 and 2 are on-line and synchronous. Day 1 covers Upper Extremity and Neck. Day 2 covers Lower Extremity and Back. Review cases, an efficient approach, and ‘red flags’ to be aware of.
Day 3 is a couple of months down the road – and allows for a reminder of the principles, and hands-on practice with joint injection models, and physical exam review and practice. Plus, you get to refine points learned from the earlier sessions.
