- basic joint and tendon anatomy in major joint and musculoskeletal regions.

- performing targeted, practical, and evidence-based diagnostic maneuvers for common musculoskeletal complaints.

- evidence-based, and cost-effective approaches to physical therapy and medical devices.

- diagnosing musculoskeletal problems through history and physical examination.

- indications for judicious use of imaging.

- treatment plans, including medication, exercises, and use of splints or braces.

- clinically appropriate resources for patient education and for home exercise plans.

- patients who require further testing or orthopedics consultation and those that can be safely treated under the guidance of the internist.
