About Conference

This course provides participants a comprehensive introduction to musculoskeletal ultrasound. The course is taught by leading musculoskeletal ultrasound experts and incorporates comprehensive lectures covering anatomy, pathology, and ultrasound-guided injection/aspiration techniques. Live scanning demonstrations are included for each upper and lower extremity joint. Extensive hands-on scanning sessions feature a 3:1 participant-to-faculty ratio with live standardized patient models.

Highlights

This course also includes a 4-hour cadaver lab with un-embalmed human cadaver specimens. Performing ultrasound-guided interventions requires a strong knowledge base pertaining to scanning techniques, recognition of normal anatomy, pathologic conditions, and needle-guidance techniques. The use of human cadaveric specimens allows the participant to augment the scanning and interventional skills in order to immediately begin integrating the skills into clinical practice.
