PReS-FINAL-2247: Confidence of UK general peadiatric trainees in musculoskeletal clinical assessment and preferences for future teaching resources

چکیده
Introduction Musculoskeletal (MSK) problems in children and adolescents are common (1-4) and may represent serious life threatening disease (5-7). Many doctors have low confidence in examining children’s joints, stemming from MSK teaching not being core in many training programmes (8). In an attempt to address this, paediatric MSK competencies were introduced into the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (RCPCH) training curriculum in 2007 and assessment of MSK knowledge and clinical skills was included in the mandatory professional clinical examinations for all paediatricians in 2009 (i.e. Membership of the RCPCH (MRCPCH) clinical examination).
