This course would be of interest to health care providers in fields related to the musculoskeletal system, including, but not limited to, radiologists, sports medicine physicians, physiatrists, orthopedic surgeons, rheumatologists, sonographers, physician assistants, and resident and fellow trainees.
The UCLA Department of Radiological Sciences, in collaboration with lead physicians from the departments of Rheumatology, Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, is proud to offer a comprehensive interdisciplinary musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound hands-on learning experience. The MSK Ultrasound Course and Hands-On Workshop will review pertinent aspects of upper and lower extremity ultrasound critical for clinical application. This weekend course will include, in addition to basic MSK ultrasound of joints, current topics such as MSK ultrasound intervention, ultrasound of peripheral nerves, ultrasound of muscle, pediatric sports ultrasound, and MSK ultrasound economics. A multidisciplinary approach will be emphasized through interaction with physicians from various subspecialties.
The course also features live, split-screen video demonstrations of basic MSK ultrasound scan techniques essential for appropriate clinical application. In addition, the interactive hands-on workshop will provide ample opportunity for participants to practice techniques learned in the lectures via focused, small group training with subspecialists.
