Activity Description
This activity is a 1-hour presentation covering normal sonoanatomy in musculoskeletal sonography.

Target Audience
This educational program is designed for physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, nurses, and physical therapists involved and/or interested in MSKUS as point-of care imaging tool to assist with diagnosis and treatment of joint pains in people with hemophilia. Other healthcare professionals involved in hemophilia clinical care may benefit from this education program as well

Method of Participation
The estimated time to complete this activity is 1 hour. To obtain credit, participants should answer the brief pre-activity survey, view the presentation, answer the multiple-choice post test questions, and complete the evaluation form online to receive a certificate online immediately upon completion.

Educational Objectives
Following completion of this educational activity, learners should be able to

Differentiate between sonographic appearances of bones, cartilage, muscles, tendons/ligaments and fat pads
Describe the most common pitfalls and artifacts in musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging
Describe the principles of reading normal musculoskeletal sonographic images

Statement of Need
Musculoskeletal disease is common in hemophilia. Hemophilic arthropathy is a frequent and debilitating comorbidity. The clinical exam to diagnose and treat hemarthrosis, joint problems and musculoskeletal abnormalities is unreliable. There is an urgent medical need to teach MSKUS techniques to hemophilia providers for wide-spread use for diagnosis and management of hemophilic arthropathy. Foundational knowledge of the anatomy of the ankle, elbow, and knee is essential in learning the skills needed to utilize these techniques in practice.

Accreditation
The University of California, San Diego School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.
