Build the confidence to assess, diagnose, and manage rotator cuff–related shoulder pain with clarity—not uncertainty.
Shoulder pain is one of the most common and clinically challenging presentations in musculoskeletal practice. This comprehensive blended-learning program gives you a practical, evidence-informed framework for evaluating and managing the full spectrum of rotator cuff–related disorders—so you can move beyond isolated special tests and imaging findings toward confident, clinically meaningful decision-making.
You will learn how experienced shoulder orthopaedic surgeons approach rotator cuff tears, tendinopathy, impingement, long-head biceps pathology, calcific tendinitis, os acromiale, and subcoracoid impingement. Through focused teaching, clinical pearls, imaging review, and real-world case discussions, you will develop a clearer understanding of what matters, what can be managed conservatively, when to escalate care, and how to guide patients through the rehabilitation and surgical decision-making process.
By the end of the program, you will be better equipped to:
-
Perform a structured and efficient shoulder assessment.
-
Differentiate common causes of rotator cuff–related pain and dysfunction.
-
Interpret key radiographic, ultrasound, and MRI findings in clinical context.
-
Recognize red flags, surgical indications, and conditions that warrant specialist referral.
-
Build evidence-informed conservative management and rehabilitation plans.
-
Explain diagnoses, treatment options, and expected recovery to patients with greater confidence.
-
Apply your learning immediately through practical cases, hands-on discussion, and direct faculty feedback.
A Blended Learning Experience
This is not simply an online lecture series. It is a blended program designed to turn knowledge into clinical confidence.
Start with self-paced online learning, where you can build a strong foundation in shoulder anatomy, biomechanics, assessment, imaging, pathology, and treatment principles on your own schedule. Then bring that knowledge into an intensive one-day, in-person masterclass focused on application.
During the live workshop, you will refine your assessment approach, work through realistic case-based scenarios, discuss diagnostic and management decisions with faculty, and develop practical skills you can carry directly into clinic.
Online learning gives you the foundation. The in-person masterclass helps you apply it with confidence.
Complimentary Bonus Courses
When you enrol in The Rotator Cuff & Impingement Course, you will also receive complimentary access to 2 courses: the Shoulder Fundamentals Course & Pharmacology and Injections in Orthopaedics .
The Shoulder Fundamentals Course provides the essential baseline knowledge needed to get the most from the program, including shoulder anatomy, biomechanics, examination principles, imaging basics, and a structured approach to common shoulder presentations.
The Pharmacology and Injections in Orthopaedics course provides the essential knowledge needed to make informed medication and injection decisions in musculoskeletal care, including commonly used medications, indications and contraindications, injection principles and techniques, potential complications, and a structured approach to safe, patient-centred treatment planning.
Together, these courses give you a complete pathway—from foundational shoulder knowledge to confident management of complex rotator cuff and impingement-related disorders.
