 Hello, healthcare champions and supporters!
As we celebrate 25 years of service at Jackson Orthopedic Foundation, we are grateful for your help in addressing one of the most significant health crises facing patients and clinicians today. Your support -- whether through a one-time or monthly gift, or by attending or sponsoring our annual Canes gala -- is more than a donation. It’s a direct investment in healthcare professionals who are tackling the growing impact of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, improving lives across the nation. Hey there, healthcare heroes!
Are you seeing a lot of patients with muscle, bone and joint conditions, but not sure about your exam skills, or what treatments you can confidently offer? Have you been referring patients to ortho specialists but have the feeling you could probably treat them in the clinic with the right skills? Not to worry, as fellow clinicians we understand and we're here to help. We've developed our nationally accredited Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) CE curriculum specifically to help you, your patients and your practice. 
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. 
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 
While the headlines have been full of COVID and the election of late, there’s one story that will likely stand out to California nurse practitioners: AB 890.
Assembly Bill 890 was signed into law by Gov. Gavin Newsom on September 29 and makes California the 23rd state in the U.S. to offer Full Practice Authority (FPA) to NPs. It goes into effect in January 2023, with implementation details to be developed over the next two years. |
