Abstract

Orthopaedic problems are common in many healthcare settings. This increases the need of non-orthopaedic healthcare professionals (NOHPs) having a basic understanding of musculoskeletal illnesses. Therefore, it is of interest to review the current educational approaches, obstacles and suggestions for enhancing orthopaedic education for NOHPs. This review emphasizes the crucial requirement for comprehensive orthopaedic education for non-orthopaedic healthcare providers to successfully manage the rising global burden of musculoskeletal (MSK) illnesses.
