Any of our on-site training courses can be customized to address your specific areas of interest – tailored for the beginner or advanced audience and specialty.
Since musculoskeletal ultrasound relies on a deep knowledge of anatomy, all of our courses include an extensive review of anatomy and pathology, with direct visualization of anatomical structures for ultrasonographic scanning excellence and optimal understanding of images. You will also review basic physics, knobology, and probe manipulation, and you will learn proven protocols for every region of the body including specific patient and probe positioning.
All of our training programs are hands-on and include needle-guided injection protocols.
Our intermediate and advanced training programs may include a cadaver lab and you may also have the opportunity to practice on healthy models.
