 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).  Hey there, healthcare heroes! 😊
Are you feeling the weight of managing musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions in your primary care practice — especially common complaints involving the shoulder, elbow, wrist or hand? Do you sometimes feel like you're behind the curve on the latest non-surgical treatment techniques? We hear you, and we're here to help! 👍 Join us Friday and Saturday, July 26-27 for our two-day Orthopalooza: Upper Extremity workshop. 
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. 
It's here! Our Fourth Annual Canes Film Festival & Gala is this Sunday, Nov. 7!
Tickets are still available via our website -- Standard Tickets are $50, Student Tickets are $25. Click on the button below to reserve your spot either in-person or on YouTube. 
We’re excited to announce the latest addition to our line-up of Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) continuing education courses for clinicians: Online Mini Courses.
We know that budgets and schedules are tight these days, so we created these four, 10-hour online modules – priced at just $65 each – to make it easier than ever to improve your skills and confidence diagnosing and treating common musculoskeletal conditions. 
It would be an understatement to say that 2020 has been unprecedented – in fact, we hear that term so much that it hardly seems apt anymore to begin to describe the last 12 months. COVID-19 has been the grim centerpiece of much of that year, and, like many nonprofits, JOF has had to work hard to keep serving our constituents in this continually challenging environment.
However, thanks to you – our volunteers, donors, sponsors, students, preceptors, and team – we have weathered this storm. And we’re proud to say that we still managed to accomplish a fair amount. 
We're thrilled to report that Sunday's Third Annual Canes Film Festival & Gala was a success! We're so grateful for everyone who attended our first virtual event, along with our wonderful sponsors, and silent auction bidders and auction-item donors!
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. 
Our world has turned into a very different place in the month since we sent you our last newsletter.
Many of you are on the front lines of your community’s — and our nation’s—response to the COVID-19 health crisis. You are working in hospitals, clinics, private practice, and elsewhere. Some are working in offices, senior and childcare centers, and other places of care. And that doesn’t include the care you are providing to your own family, neighbors, friends, and often strangers. |
