The Current State of Musculoskeletal Clinical Skills Teaching for Preclerkship Medical Students

Abstract

The weak link in the Canadian MSK PE educational cycle appears to be the amount of time available for students' deliberate practice with expert feedback. There is a need for methods to evaluate and further develop MSK PE teaching by non-MSK specialists. This and increased use of PPIA at the preclerkship level may provide students more time for practice with feedback.
