- What does the bundle include?
- Both the Adult Trauma Diploma and the Paediatric Trauma Diploma, each delivered in full: every live session, on-demand recordings and the written assessment. You are enrolled on both.
- Do I get two separate certificates?
- Yes. Each diploma is assessed in its own right, so you finish with two Certificates of Completion, one for the Adult Trauma Diploma and one for the Paediatric Trauma Diploma.
- Is CME accreditation included for both diplomas?
- Yes. Both diplomas are CME-accredited. The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, Inc. (JBJS) is accredited by the ACCME to provide AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ for physicians, and credit is designated on each diploma separately. UK CPD is recognised on the same basis.
- Can I enrol in the two diplomas separately?
- Yes. The Adult Trauma Diploma is £840 and the Paediatric Trauma Diploma is £840, each available on its own diploma page. The bundle is the discounted way to take both.
- I already own one diploma, can I still take the bundle?
- Yes. The bundle covers both diplomas, so already owning one is no problem. To avoid paying twice for the diploma you hold, email info@pmdiplomas.com before purchasing and we will arrange the second one for you.
- Who are the diplomas designed for?
- Senior orthopaedic residents, fellows in the relevant subspecialty, newly appointed consultants, and associate specialists. The teaching assumes a working clinical grounding and focuses on decision-making, operative detail and exam preparation.
- How are the diplomas delivered?
- Entirely online, with structured weekly live seminars. Every session has full on-demand access so delegates who cannot attend live can catch up on their own schedule. The two diplomas run as separate cohorts, each with its own start date.
- How much time per week should I allocate?
- Plan for roughly two to three hours per week per diploma. That covers the one-hour live session, the weekly formative MCQ, and light preparation or recap. Because the two diplomas run as separate cohorts, the workload does not overlap.
- What does the assessment involve?
- Each diploma runs weekly formative MCQs throughout its cohort, with a final written assessment at the end. Each is assessed independently, and successful delegates receive a certificate of completion for each.
- What if I miss a live session?
- Every session is recorded and available on demand within the delegate portal. You can catch up at any point during the cohort.
- Is this an academic qualification or degree?
- No. The Orthopaedic Diplomas are professional development programmes co-developed by JBJS and delivered by PMI. They are not awarded by, affiliated with, or accredited by any university or higher education institution. Completion does not confer an academic qualification.
- What is the refund policy?
- If you are a consumer, you can cancel within 14 days of enrolling for a full refund, provided your cohort has not yet started. After that, cancellations more than 30 days before the cohort start date are refunded less a £150 administration fee, and no refund is available within 30 days of the start date. If we cancel a cohort, you receive a full refund; if we reschedule it to dates that do not suit you, you can choose between a full refund and a transfer to a future cohort. Read the full refund policy.
- What technology do I need to attend?
- A modern laptop or tablet, a stable internet connection, and Zoom. Recordings play in any modern browser. No specialist software is required.
