International Education
in MSK research
International education in musculoskeletal (MSK) research is a key priority for our Federation.
Our aim is to reduce disparities in MSK education and research, particularly in regions where there is the greatest need. Our efforts are focused on empowering researchers, clinicians and stakeholders to participate in meaningful dialogue, thereby enhancing global knowledge systems and improving clinical outcomes.
The aim of this workstream is promoting a culture of excellence and interdisciplinary cooperation to enhance MSK health on a global scale.
