Listen to What Our Students Are Saying: Transforming Musculoskeletal Care Together

Hello, healthcare champions and supporters!

At Jackson Orthopedic Foundation, we believe that the best way to understand the impact of our nationally accredited Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) CE courses is to hear directly from those who’ve experienced it. The program empowers nurse practitioners and advanced practice providers (APPs) to deliver exceptional care for patients with musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions, one of the most significant health challenges facing millions today.

🧏🏻‍♀️ Here’s what some of our recent students had to say about our Orthopalooza 2-Day live (in-person) workshops:

How our courses empower clinicians

JOF's courses fill a crucial gap in clinical education. As many as 1 in 2 primary care visits involve a bone, muscle, or joint complaint, yet many healthcare providers receive minimal training in managing these conditions. With fewer orthopedic physicians, minimal orthopedic content in medical and nursing schools, and an aging population, the need for effective primary care solutions continues to grow.

Here's how our courses make a difference:


💡 Enhanced Patient Outcomes: Graduates of our OPC courses deliver better care, helping patients reduce pain, improve function, and reclaim their quality of life.
📈 Career Growth: Our program equips providers with the skills and confidence to manage MSK conditions effectively, positioning them as leaders in their field.
💰 Cost-Efficient Care: Clinicians trained by JOF reduce unnecessary referrals and improve practice performance, benefiting patients and healthcare systems alike.
🌍 Broad Impact: From individual patients to entire communities, our programs are changing lives by addressing the growing burden of MSK conditions.

Flexible, and affordable options + expert instruction

🏫 Flexible Learning Options: We offer an affordable variety of online, live (in-person), and hybrid formats, making our nationally accredited courses accessible to busy providers everywhere.
🔬 Hands-On Training: Our live (in-person) and hybrid courses give our students valuable, in-person practice that gives them both the skills and confidence they can use in the clinic.
🌟 Expert Instruction: JOF’s instructors bring decades of experience and a passion for advancing MSK care to every course.
