You Play a Vital Role in Orthopedic Care!
Â
Patients with musculoskeletal complaints often begin their journey with you—in family medicine, urgent care, emergency medicine, occupational medicine, or another first point of contact. The decisions you make during that initial encounter can shape everything that follows.
I’m Vanessa Smith, PA-C. After more than 17 years in orthopedic practice, I’ve seen the difference that a thoughtful examination, careful imaging review, and confident initial management plan can make.
I created OrthoRefresh to provide practical, evidence-based MSK education that helps physicians, PAs, NPs, ATCs, and students know what to look for, how to think through the diagnosis, and what to do next.
Because exceptional orthopedic care doesn’t begin at the specialist’s office. It begins with you.
