PROGRAM MBBS 2023
MODULE TITLE ORTHOPEDICS MODULE
ACADEMIC YEAR 4th Year
INTRODUCTION Musculoskeletal diseases and injuries include conditions that affect
joints, bones, muscles, the spine, and multiple body areas or systems
such as connective tissues and blood vessels. An analysis of Global
Burden of Disease (GBD) data in 2019 showed that globally
approximately 1.71 billion people have musculoskeletal conditions.
It is therefore essential to empower the students with core foundational
knowledge related to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of
musculoskeletal diseases and injuries.
RATIONALE Orthopedics module is designed to presents state of the art
knowledge and experience from clinical experts and researchers
specializing in the area of trauma and orthopedic surgery. It is a review
of in-depth clinical aspects of trauma and orthopedic surgery. The
module builds upon the basic sciences knowledge gained during the
Locomotor-1 & 2 modules in years 2 & 3 respectively.
OUTCOMES By the end of the module, students will be able to:
•Justify management plans of disorders related to Bones, joints and
Skeletal muscles by correlating the clinical conditions with the
Pathophysiology
DEPARTMENTS 1. Internal Medicine
