Rate My Professor Jenny Keightley

Dr Jenny Keightley is a Clinical Senior Lecturer in the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and Musculoskeletal Medicine at the University of Otago, Christchurch, within the Faculty of Medicine. She joined the department in June 2017 to continue the development of its postgraduate programmes, particularly the Postgraduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine. With qualifications including BSc Human Biology, MB ChB, Dip Obst, and Dip MSM, Keightley became interested in musculoskeletal medicine during her early years in general practice. In 2006, she graduated with the Postgraduate Diploma in Musculoskeletal Medicine and has since taken master's papers, fostering an appreciation for evidence-based resources and their application to practice. Musculoskeletal diagnoses make up 20-25% of general practice consultations, providing ample scope for applying her knowledge. She now practices predominantly as a musculoskeletal physician with a special interest in pain conditions affecting older patients.
