Reviews with MCQs

BJSM Education articles are evidence based reviews by international experts with an accompanying series of validated multiple choice questions (MCQs) for established sports and exercise physicians and sport and exercise physicians in training. You can read the articles here and then proceed to take the MCQs on BMJ Learning.

Case-based learning

• Interactive Case Histories (ICHs)

ICHs by world leading experts immerse you in an interactive learning environment. These modules are relevant to everyday clinical practice and complement the regular BJSM Education articles. Use these ICHs to learn as you are guided through a real life consultation, answering questions as you proceed. All BJSM interactive case histories are produced by BMJ learning in association with BJSM and co-hosted on the BJSM Education website and on BMJ Learning - the leading learning website for health professionals.

In order to access the BJSM Interactive Case Histories, BJSM subscribers must sign into BJSM with their username and password. All users must also complete a one-time registration on BMJ learning and subsequently log in (with a BMJ Learning username and password) on every visit.

• Case studies

The case studies are generously made available to the readers of the BJSM by the AMSSM, one of our member organizations. The reader is guided through a typical case - history, physical exam, differential diagnosis, lab results, imaging, working diagnosis, course of treatment, final diagnosis and return to play. After each step the reader is challenged to write down his or her own decisions and comments. All is revealed as you work your way to the climax of the case!

I-tests - Sports medicine radiology/imaging

I-tests aim to provide readers with a succinct imaging-based educational opportunity in a clinical context familiar to a sports medicine readership. Each I-test consists of a short history, key physical examination findings and imaging findings that are needed to arrive at a diagnosis. The images reflect the breadth of clinical practice and include plain radiographs, ultrasound, CT and MRI. By taking I-tests you will improve your diagnostic imaging skills.

Pictorial essays with MCQs

Pictorial essays are educational articles that are extensively illustrated (radiographs, ultrasound, CT, MRI, etc), including video images (e.g, AVI files of dynamic ultrasound examinations) with limited text. The teaching points and educational goals are given as bullet points at the beginning of the article. Articles are accompanied by five multiple choice questions, which can be answered by reading the article and supported by cited references.

Image quizzes

The BJSM has launched an exciting new image quiz based on real life cases. Take a look at the various images and identify the most likely diagnoses.

Physical exam videos

Dr Mark Hutchinson’s world-famous physical examination videos systematical teach you how to conduct a thorough musculoskeletal examination. The videos are conveniently sized so you can focus on one specific test (e.g., Lachmann’s test) at a time. These videos have been viewed over 3.4 million times on YouTube! Refine your examination of the knee, shoulder, as well as hip and groin.

Exercise prescription videos

These "BJSM approved" exercise prescription videos highlight evidence-based programs. There are many exercise videos on the web but very few are based on evidence. BJSM aims to provide an archive for exercises that are supported by quality trials. This is consistent with BJSM's commitment to implementation and knowledge translation/exchange. Feel free to email bpluim{at}euronet.nl if you have suggestions for videos (either linked or uploaded to the BJSM site). We encourage everybody to keep moving!

Achilles Tendinopathy Toolkit

The Achilles Tendinopathy Toolkit is an evidence based clinical decision making aid to assist clinicians in their management of achilles tendinopathy.

The ‘Tendinopathy Toolkit’ includes:

• A tabulated summary of the evidence for manual therapy, exercise, low level laser therapy, ultrasound, extracorporeal shock wave therapy, iontophoresis using dexamethasone, taping, orthotics, night splints and braces, heel raise inserts, needling techniques, and the appropriate outcome measures for this population.
• An algorithm to guide the sequence of interventions
• Appendices including:

a) exercise programs

b) low level laser dosage calculation

c) tabulated details for each article reviewed and

d) a review of common medical interventions.
