Conference description

Musculoskeletal disease is the most common medical condition encountered in the United States, and accounts for approximately 10-25% of all primary care visits.  One in two adults report a musculoskeletal condition requiring medical attention, and with the aging population, the burden of musculoskeletal disease is expected to increase.  The 2023 Musculoskeletal Update will discuss clinical musculoskeletal conditions commonly encountered in a primary care practice and will provide an overview of common clinical conditions; a differential diagnosis based upon the symptoms, history and physical examination; indications for specialized workup and diagnostic imaging; and management options ranging from conservative treatment to surgical indications.  Sessions will include case presentations, practical physical exam practice, and anatomy review.
