Standardized Home Exercise Prescription: Education of Family Medicine Residents
This project will encompass an evaluation of the educational value of having evidence based
home exercise protocols available for family medicine residents in regard to the
prescription of home exercise treatment for common musculoskeletal conditions. Investigators
will be evaluating resident knowledge on home exercise prescription as well as their level
of comfort in educating their patients before and after a series of didactic sessions and
implementation of exercise protocols.

This study aims to fill the gap in this area of the literature pertaining to home exercise
prescription. The justification of this study's scientific merit comes from the lack of
literature and the need for research in this area. There have been multiple studies that
have shown different exercise modality treatments for common musculoskeletal (MSK)
complaints significantly improve both disability and overall quality of life. Despite the
evidence of the short and long term effectiveness of exercise based therapies, there is a
general lack of confidence of residents in prescribing and teaching patients rehab
exercises.Additionally, many of the patients seen in the University of Florida (UF) Family
medicine residency program cannot afford or do not have time to attend physical therapist
led rehab sessions. This makes physician led education and the ability of prescribing
exercise based treatments for musculoskeletal (MSK) complaints a very important component of
patient care.
