Our unique and nationally accredited Orthopedic Primary Care (OPC) program is a suite of courses to help you to help you acquire skills and build confidence in treating common muscle, bone, and joint conditions.

Ideal for nurse practitioners, OPC is the only non-degree continuing education program in the United States for NPs interested in musculoskeletal care. Our courses are also perfect for clinical nurse specialists, physicians and other APPs.

In addition to adding valuable job skills to your resume, learning new MSK skills will help your patients maximize function, manage pain, prevent re-injury, and slow disease progression. You'll also help your practice reduce unnecessary referrals.
