*

Yes

No

No Opinion

Please elaborate on your opinion of time spent on MSK content in the NP curriculum.

Possible Reasons For Neglect of MSK Content

There are many likely barriers limiting time being spent on musculoskeletal content in NP programs, including time and resources. Please rank the following barriers in order most likely (5) to least likely (1) for your program. If a reason does not apply to your institution, please mark “0” (zero):

Faculty knowledge & confidence (Nobody feels qualified to teach orthopedic content)

*

Financial resources (No budgeted resources for guest ortho faculty)

*

Musculoskeletal content less important than other curricular content (see #3 above)

*

Limited time in schedule due to full curriculum

*

Your Thoughts on the Importance and Presentation of MSK Content for FNPs

Since 2015, nearly eighty-five percent of medical schools have adopted dedicated courses in musculoskeletal medicine (Sabesan et al, 2018.) How important do you think it is for Nurse Practitioner programs to prepare FNPs to treat musculsoskeletal problems in primary care and how do you think that could be best accomplished?

AACN Accreditation

If an AACN accredited 3 unit graduate level course in MSK topics was available to students in your program, how could you see it being implemented? Rank in order of most likely (5) to least likely (1).

Integrated into the regular curriculum as a stand alone course

*

As a series of online required assignments incorporated into various courses

*
