Assessment of a New Undergraduate Module in Musculoskeletal Medicine

Abstract

In conclusion, the musculoskeletal module described in this paper represents an educational advance at undergraduate (i.e., medical-school) level as demonstrated by the improvement in scores in a validated examination. As pressure on medical curricula grows to accommodate advancing medical knowledge, it is important to continue to improve, assess, and consolidate the position of musculoskeletal medicine in contemporary medical education.
