 We at Jackson Orthopedic Foundation (JOF) are thrilled to celebrate our 25th year of service. Over the past quarter-century, we've been committed to enhancing the skills of clinicians who care for patients with musculoskeletal conditions. With every clinician we train, we create a ripple effect that positively impacts countless patients' lives. 🌟
A highlight of our Orthopedic Primary Care catalog of continuing education courses is our quarterly, 1-day Orthopedic Injection Workshop. The next workshop is scheduled for Saturday, July 27 2024 in Lafayette, California (the second day of our two-day Orthopalooza workshop on upper extremity conditions).  Our popular summer Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP) is back! HIP is is a great way for college students to explore possible healthcare careers, all while shadowing various health fields while shadowing experienced providers (preceptors) as they treat patients.
Based in Oakland, California, our 2024 program runs July 8-August 2. Applications are now open. Deadline to apply has been extended to Friday, June 28. 🎓🩺 
Hi friends, it time to book some CE hours for spring and summer? With chronic and acute muscle, bone and joint conditions affecting up to half of your patients, why not consider Jackson Orthopedic Foundation's suite of Orthopedic Primary Care courses and skills workshops?
Good for your patients, your practice and your career, our courses and workshops are ideal for nurse practitioners and clinical nurse specialists. They're also great for physicians and other APPs. 
With summer around the corner we're excited to share several learning opportunities with you for this season and beyond.
Our catalogue of in-person, online and blended learning options is designed to help you conveniently and affordably acquire new skills and confidence treating common bone, muscle and joint conditions. Each summer we also help students explore future careers in healthcare. 
Our summer Healthcare Immersion Program is now underway. We're excited to introduce our seven students -- a brilliant group of young people with diverse interests and aspirations for a future career in healthcare. Our 2022 program runs through August 5.
We’re excited to announce that Maggie Macy, RN is joining our team as our 2022 Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP) Coordinator.
Along with being a guide and mentor for student participants, the HIP coordinator is responsible for planning and organizing the program schedule, and managing day-to-day activities, along with administration, evaluations, and working with our Board and marketing teams as needed.  Our inaugural Orthopalooza MSK skills weekend was a hit. Usually part of our blended learning Orthopedic Primary Care Courses, we broke out the weekend workshop as a standalone two-day workshop event April 8 & 9.
Held at Creekside Commons in Lafayette, California, the workshop, valued at 15 contact hours, quickly sold out and we're already planning our next Orthopalooza event for September 9-10. 
Education is a key focus for us at JOF -- and it was a great experience to finally be in person again with friends and colleagues at the California Association for Nurse Practitioners 44th Annual Educational Conference in Pasadena.
It was a lively event filled with learning and networking -- including presentations on menopause and foot and ankle pain by our instructors Kathleen Geier, DNP and A.J. Benham, DNP 
It's here! Our Fourth Annual Canes Film Festival & Gala is this Sunday, Nov. 7!

We’re excited to announce that Mahnoor Yousuf is again supporting our Healthcare Immersion Program (HIP) as a Coordinator.
If Mahnoor’s name seems familiar, it’s because she was Coordinator for the 2021 program, and was a student in the 2020 HIP program. She is a graduate of UC San Diego having majored in biochemistry and cell biology, with a minor in global health. She's currently applying to medical schools. |
