New for 2022...updated topics and speakers!

This course will feature both asynchronous online content and a live on-campus lectures held on Saturday, November 12, 2022 from 8am-5pm. Participants will be able to review the asynchronous lectures on their own over a 1 month window. Attendees will complete an examination at the completion of both asynchronous and synchronous content to receive their course completion certificate.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This interdisciplinary course is designed to advance the knowledge and skills required to recognize findings necessitating medical referral for patients in a variety of settings. This course contains a combination of asynchronous online content and a live on-campus lecture. The course will build on the clinician’s current clinical expertise through lecture, collaborative decision-making, and interdisciplinary case discussions. Medical conditions that mimic musculoskeletal dysfunction, and “must know” red flags across the lifespan will be highlighted. Evidence-based management will be addressed to guide the role of physical therapists as collaborative practitioners who are ideally positioned to identify manifestations warranting referral.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon the completion of this course the participant will be able to:

• Identify signs and symptoms associated with selected medical conditions that mimic musculoskeletal dysfunction
• Utilize evidence-based medical guidelines to determine indications for further diagnostic imaging.
• Apply clinical decision making to orthopedic, neurologic, cardiopulmonary, and pediatric patient populations.
