Course Overview

This advanced hybrid course will review the essentials of musculoskeletal ultrasound and intervention, combining lectures organized by extremity joints, live scanning demonstrations, and supervised scanning sessions with live model volunteers. Each segment begins with a live scanning demonstration, which reviews anatomy and scanning protocols, and provides a comprehensive review of each joint. Featured lectures will focus on specific topics including ultrasound-guided procedures, imaging protocol, and a hands-on workshop with questions and answers allowing attendees to ask the faculty critical challenging questions.  

Topics have been selected based on the educational needs and underlying identified professional practice gaps in musculoskeletal ultrasound. 


Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, participants will be able to: 

  • Recognize musculoskeletal anatomy as demonstrated with ultrasound; 

  • List the essential steps of a comprehensive musculoskeletal ultrasound protocol; 

  • Describe the ultrasound features of common musculoskeletal pathology; and  

  • Understand how ultrasound is used to guide various musculoskeletal procedures. 




Who Should Attend?

This musculoskeletal ultrasound course will be of value to physicians, sonographers, physician-extenders, and others who have an interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound. The course will benefit those who are building their experience in musculoskeletal ultrasound and establishing an imaging protocol. Additionally, the focused in-depth lectures, including discussion of ultrasound-guided procedures, and supervised scanning sessions, are aimed at those advancing their musculoskeletal ultrasound skills.
