Practical Orthopedic CME for Frontline Clinicians

Oakstone Orthopedics for Non-Orthopedists 2026 is a practical online CME program designed to help frontline clinicians confidently evaluate, diagnose, and manage common orthopedic and musculoskeletal complaints. The course addresses everyday presentations ranging from back pain, sprains, arthritis, and overuse injuries to fractures and sports-related conditions.

Through expert-led lectures, participants will review musculoskeletal examination techniques by body region, appropriate imaging selection and interpretation, fracture recognition, pain management, rehabilitation, bracing, activity modification, and evidence-based non-operative treatment. The course also provides practical guidance on recognizing red flags and determining when urgent imaging or specialty referral is warranted.

* Date of Original Release: July 31, 2026

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the initial evaluation of common musculoskeletal complaints, including key elements of the patient history and physical examination
  • Differentiate common musculoskeletal conditions based on patient history and mechanism of injury to guide accurate diagnosis and initial management
  • Identify red flags and clinical findings that warrant urgent imaging or specialty referral
  • Select and interpret appropriate initial imaging studies for patients with common musculoskeletal presentations
  • Outline evidence-based non-operative management strategies, including pain management, activity modification, rehabilitation, and bracing
  • Implement appropriate conservative management and orthopedic referral decisions for common fractures and soft tissue injuries
  • Discuss the evaluation and management of common orthopedic conditions, including indications for imaging and referral
  • Apply principles of musculoskeletal care to patients with chronic conditions such as osteoarthritis and overuse injuries
  • Identify clinical scenarios and criteria that warrant referral to orthopedic or other specialty care
  • Integrate musculoskeletal assessment, management, and referral decisions into routine care for patients with multiple or coexisting health conditions
