The engaging Loyola MSK review course gave me a broader understanding of the imaging features and clinical context of musculoskeletal disease. The highly relevant topics have helped me in preparing for the core exam and have also helped me to add value on a daily basis at the reading station.

- Practitioners of musculoskeletal imaging
Course Goals
- Successfully respond to theoretical and practical inquiries for differentials and anatomy
- Accurately indicate appropriate secondary imaging studies

The MSK review course was well structured and organized. They brought great speakers from Chicagoland who taught with passion! It was great for me as it helped to improve my comfort level on night and weekend calls by using notes from these lectures as quick reference. I became more sensitive in my film reads as it gave me insights into the significance of each examination. The post session quizzes helped us review each lecture, and the questions and feedbacks were very helpful for resident core-exam preparation as well. I thoroughly enjoyed the two days of brainstorming sessions and thank the organizers for the opportunity. Every resident should make use of the 2 days for MSK exam prep which is worth the weekend!
