The Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine’s (SOMM’s) MSc Musculoskeletal Medicine was developed in 2000 in collaboration with Middlesex University and the programme moved to Queen Margaret University (QMU), Edinburgh in 2018. SOMM has greatly valued its collaboration with both universities and the programme continued to run successfully at QMU until August 2024.
SOMM is delighted to announce that QMU is now offering a new part time online MSc / PgDip Advancing Practice in Musculoskeletal Medicine. Health professionals who have successfully completed SOMM’s Foundation in Musculoskeletal Medicine module (SOMM’s Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine) within the last 5 years, worth 60 master’s-level credits, are eligible to apply for the MSc.
This provides an exciting and supported route for those completing SOMM’s Foundation module to progress directly into QMU’s programme.
SOMM’s modules remain credit-rated by QMU at master’s level:
- Foundation in Musculoskeletal Medicine – 60 credits (for more information, please visit Foundation Module | SOMM | Society of Musculoskeletal Medicine)
- Theory and Practice of Injection Therapy – 20 credits (for more information, please visit Theory & Practice of Injection Therapy – SOMM)
This alignment offers excellent opportunities for health professionals to integrate their SOMM learning into further postgraduate study and supports pathways into first contact practitioner and advanced practitioner roles.
