MSc Orthopaedic Medicine

The programme is a collaboration between the Society of Orthopaedic Medicine and Middlesex University and is specially designed to be flexible to suit you.  Once you’ve passed your Membership exam and successfully submitted the final reflective essay – you’ll be a third of the way through the programme already with 60 credits and just 120 to go!

60 of those will be made up by attending the 20 credit research methods module plus two other 20 credit option modules – ‘Theory and Practice of Injection Therapy’, Advanced Clinical Practice in Orthopaedic Medicine’ or the ‘Practice Based Proposition module’.  And – good news – if you’ve already done any of those they’ll be carried forward automatically into the programme.  Then just the 60 credit dissertation to do and you’re there!  Almost 50 dissertations completed so far and you’re very welcome to see the list for inspiration.

The description of the programme speaks for itself:  ‘The programme enables both medical practitioners and physiotherapists to develop mastery in the application and integration of orthopaedic medicine into their clinical practice and to enhance the level of patient care, particularly in the field of musculoskeletal medicine and therapy.  This is an opportunity for experienced practitioners to develop enhanced clinical and research skills as well as extending their qualifications in orthopaedic medicine.’
