Tracks

Introductory

Suggested for participants who are developing scanning techniques and joint scanning protocols.

Intermediate

Suggested for registrants who have attended prior musculoskeletal ultrasound courses, who are able to demonstrate normal anatomy, and who are comfortable with common pathology (i.e. those who have scanned > 100 patients).

Additional Optional Sessions

One-on-One Supervised Screening (Optional)

Reserve an add-on 1-hour Sunday scanning session (11 am – noon) with one-on-one supervision by one of the course faculty. This is a great opportunity to refine specific scanning skills ranging from fundamental to advanced. Registration is limited.

This add-on Sunday afternoon program (12:30 – 3 pm) includes didactic lectures covering joint and bursal aspiration/injection, tendinopathy, tenotomy, and PRP. The supervised hands-on interventional component will use an animal model (turkey breast and pig’s feet) to practice needle guidance.

Why You Should Attend

Technology Access

Use and compare ultrasound machines from a variety of providers. Additional, independent scanning open to participants each afternoon.

Learning Outcomes

  • Recognize common pathology for the musculoskeletal system as seen at ultrasound;
  • Become familiar with ultrasound-guided interventional techniques
