Distance Learning Course

This course is intended for use by nursing and medical professionals, and those in training for those professions.

“Nursing Care Related to the Musculoskeletal System” was originally developed by the U.S Army Medical Department, to train their medical personnel. It has been reformatted and augmented by the Brookside Associates for wider distribution.

While this material may be very useful to students of the health sciences, completion of this course does not imply competence or certification.
