Does the mention of a dislocated shoulder or an ACL tear bring back painful memories? Having trouble mastering all the special tests for the MSK examinations; who is McMurray anyway?

The time has changed. We are starting at 9am. As usual a light lunch will be provided. There will be no history taking session to allow time to practice all 3 exams.
