At Jackson Orthopedic Foundation, we believe primary care is often the best place to treat common muscle, bone, and joint problems.

However, despite high demand from patients, most primary care clinicians don’t get adequate MSK training to be able to confidently manage these conditions. Our work as a nonprofit provider of clinical education focuses on closing this important skills gap.
From experienced clinicians to students just beginning their journey, our programs support better care today and tomorrow.

Orthopedic Primary Care

Our nationally accredited Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) curriculum – online and hybrid courses – is the only non-degree continuing education program of its kind in the U.S.

The affordable, flexible curriculum is designed to fit busy clinical lives while building the skills and confidence needed to deliver high-quality musculoskeletal care.

Healthcare Immersion Program

Our month-long summer program gives college students a unique exposure to possible health careers through in-clinic shadowing. HIP helps cultivate the next generation of healthcare professionals through hands-on learning and meaningful clinical mentorship.
2026 Program Dates: July 7-31
