Course Description and Content

This course includes clinical case scenarios of patients presenting with apparent mechanical musculoskeletal pain, but who have instead, serious underlying disorders that you don’t want to miss!

Unit 3 – Pancreatic disease presenting as thoracic pain
Unit 4 – Spinal fracture presenting as acute low back pain.
Unit 5 – Cholecystitis presenting as localised thoracolumbar pain.
