The FORCE (Free Orthopaedic Resource Centre for Education) Program is a free educational resource centre designed to help people learn about musculoskeletal (bone, joint, muscle, tendon, and ligament) conditions. Its goal is to provide reliable, easy-to-understand information and resources so patients can better understand their condition and take an active role in their care.

Think of the FORCE Program as a modern digital library for musculoskeletal health. Instead of meeting with a librarian, patients meet with a trained Navigator who uses artificial intelligence (AI) to identify high-quality educational resources that best match each person’s symptoms and concerns. These resources include written articles, videos, podcasts, and interactive tools that are based on the latest medical evidence. The FORCE Program does not diagnose medical conditions, prescribe treatment, or replace the advice of a physician or other healthcare professional. However, together with the educational content available through OrthoEducation.com, the FORCE Program can help patients better understand their condition, prepare for discussions with their healthcare provider, and support the care they receive from their primary care provider or orthopaedic specialist.

Pilot sites currently include:
