The hands-on physical exam workshop is designed to give participants an overview and manual skills necessary to perform an efficient musculoskeletal physical examination. Participants will receive printed syllabus, oral didactics and live demonstration to better their ability to perform examination of the shoulder, spine, pelvis (hip and sacroiliac joint) as well as the knee. After an overview, the small group preceptor will demonstrate key portions of inspection, palpation, range of motion testing and provocative maneuvers with anatomical models, live models and course participants. Work shop attendees are encouraged to wear comfortable (athletic) clothing as they participate in the course to become proficient in the skills necessary to adequately assess, diagnose and treat musculoskeletal conditions. Each small group will be limited to 12 participants. Preceptors will be on hand during the general sessions to answer questions that arise from this educational activity.
