Situación global de las competencias y conocimientos en medicina músculo-esquelética en licenciados en Medicina. Revisión narrativa.

Musculoskeletal disorders are one of the most frequent causes of disability, handicap and demand for medical attention. Knowledge of musculoskeletal medicine (MSM) should be essential for most specialties. Unfortunately, many medical interns (MIR) admit to a lack of confidence and competence in this area. The aim of this paper is to perform a narrative review of the level of knowledge and skills acquired in musculoskeletal pathology of medical graduates in different countries. The data show that the teaching of MSM is deficient during the academic period. It’s essential to plan training actions that lead to an increase in knowledge and skills in this pathology in medical students. Optimisation of pregraduate teaching in MME will help to improve healthcare, make the system more agile, and allow better screening of specialised referrals.
