Diagnostic Imaging for MSK Disorders in Primary Care

These non-credit courses focus on the safe and appropriate usage of diagnostic imaging for the management of common musculoskeletal conditions seen in primary care settings.  More specifically, this course will provide the knowledge and clinical decision-making skills required to effectively utilize conventional radiography, CT Scan, MRI and Diagnostic ultrasound. Emphasis is placed on using clinical practice guidelines to make appropriate, timely and judicious referrals for diagnostic imaging and how to use the Radiologist’s report to make appropriate patient care decisions. This course does not focus on the interpretation and reading of images.

The course includes three self-paced online modules. Each module is six to  seven weeks in length. Module 1 is a prerequisite for modules 2 and 3.

Upon successful completion of each module, participants will be issued a faculty digital certificate noting the number of educational hours.
