PMI delivers structured online postgraduate diplomas in orthopaedics. The Orthopaedic Diplomas are co-developed with The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. Each diploma runs as a live cohort: weekly case-based seminars taught live by practising consultants who take questions from the group, recorded for the weeks you miss, and concluding with a written assessment. Shoulder and Elbow, Orthopaedic Oncology and Paediatric Trauma are open for enrolment now.

CME-accreditedAMA PRA Category 1 Credit™via JBJSHow the diplomas work
Every PMI diploma is taught live online, one evening a week, by practising consultants you can question. Recordings cover the weeks you cannot attend.
A 45-minute case-based talk from a senior consultant, then 10 to 15 minutes of your questions to them. Live, with recordings for the weeks you miss.
Every session is given live by a consultant who treats these patients every week, not by teaching-only academics.
Short, self-marked question sets anchor each session and build towards the final written assessment.
A written paper at the end of the cohort. Successful delegates receive a certificate of completion.
