Good refresher course for me. Good coverage of basics of orthopaedic exam and diagnosis and management of common orthopaedic conditions. I do not do orthopaedic surgery (and have no desire to!) but this course helped me to assess, diagnose and decide on appropriate treatment in first opinion cases.
