Our goal was to develop a comprehensive course in musculoskeletal medicine for medical students to help to address the problem. In 2009, we expect to post course materials including Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and audio files of the lectures, small-group cases, criteria documents for evaluating student proficiency in performing the musculoskeletal physical examination, and video files of actual student examinations ().
