Specialty Care Services Musculoskeletal Mini-Residency Program.
It's a program designed to train primary care physicians on shoulder and knee pain and interventions on those joints, including joint injections. We will be training PCPs at the Brooklyn VA-affiliated CBOCs (Community Based Outpatient Clinics) in 3-day sessions between June-August 2015. We are also working on research related to the documentation of musculoskeletal complaints by residents, currently working on the IRB protocol. Also, after the end of the grant project, we will do research on the effect of the mini-residency.
