Orthopedics and Traumatology Skill Matrix for Musculoskeletal System Approach by Medical Graduates

Abstract

Objective This study aimed to build a matrix of orthopedics and traumatology skills focusing on the musculoskeletal system for graduates of a medical course in Brazil.

Methods The study used the e-Delphi methodology to retrieve opinions anonymously. The first proposal included 42 items determined at a bibliographical review and their epidemiological relevance. This proposal was available via Google Forms, and we sent it using the instant messaging application WhatsApp. We grouped the panel of 26 specialists into three categories: Orthopedics and Traumatology professors, Primary Care doctors, and Emergency Physicians. We reached a consensus after three rounds, with at least 75% agreement between the items initially presented. We also considered the following four indicators: prerequisite, essential, desirable, and advanced skills.

Results We created a matrix with 34 musculoskeletal system-related skills, including diagnostic and management actions for all age groups.

Conclusion We devised a skill matrix in Orthopedics and Traumatology for medical graduation for complete or partial use according to the institutional curriculum.
