What I consider to be 'AdvAnCEd' MSK practice (spoiler: do the basics well).
✳️ Listen more, talk less (at the beginning).
✳️ Use a basic exam to educate.
✳️ Offer a solution that requires as little change as possible.
✳️ Think of the end at the beginning.
✳️ Know when a scan or test is superfluous to management.
✳️ Manage expectations; don't always try to meet them.
✳️ Know some non-MSK differentials, but also know when it's better for someone else to take a look.
✳️ Don't order an investigation that you personally won't act upon.
✳️ Meet people where they are. Big things have small beginnings.
✳️ Chat about the weather or whatever common mundanity the day brings.
✳️ Be honest about prognosis.
✳️ Know your comms will sometimes be crappy.
✳️ Understand that some people will be rude, and it's not about you.
✳️ If the story doesn't make sense, keep asking questions until it does.
Do these things, and you too can be an 'AdvAnCEd' MSK professional.
