Online General Diagnostic Testing and Image Review of the Musculoskeletal System Self-Assessment Examination

Dedication to Dr Johnson This Academy educational program was led by Thomas R. Johnson, MD of Billings, Montana until his untimely death in February 2007. Dr. Johnson’s dedication to educating family physicians and internists in musculoskeletal medicine is demonstrated by his achievements as editor of the 2nd edition of the Essentials of Musculoskeletal Care and his contributions to previous editions. We appreciate Dr. Johnson’s efforts in bringing this program forward and dedicate these six examinations in his memory.
