Spread the Love! Transform musculoskeletal care this Valentine’s Day

Share This Page

Every day, millions of people suffer from pain, mobility issues, and musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions that impact their ability to work, stay active, and enjoy life. Muscle, bone, and joint disorders are one of the leading causes of disability worldwide, accounting for nearly 30% of all years lived with disability. Despite their prevalence, most healthcare providers receive little to no specialized training in MSK care, leaving many patients without the treatment they need.

At Jackson Orthopedic Foundation, we believe that better training leads to better care—and we’re on a mission to bridge this gap. This Valentine’s Day, we invite you to put your compassion into action and help transform musculoskeletal care.

Learn: advance your skills, improve patient care

If you’re a nurse practitioner or other advanced practice healthcare provider looking to expand your expertise, we offer flexible, high-quality training to help you confidently diagnose and manage MSK conditions. Our Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) courses are designed for nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other healthcare professionals who want to enhance their skills and provide better care for patients with MSK issues.
Choose the Right Course for You:

• Online courses – Learn at your own pace with expert-led instruction.
• Hybrid options – A blend of online learning and in-person workshops.
• Hands-on training – Join us in Lafayette, California, for one of our quarterly, immersive Orthopalooza workshops. Our next work is April 11-12, covering hip, knee, ankle, and foot conditions. Gain practical skills you can apply immediately to improve patient outcomes, including orthopedic injections.
