Why choose Learn MSK Sono?

Our goal is for you to leave this workshop having the skills to perform a variety of MSK procedures in a clinical setting. By attending this workshop, you will have the benefit of learning these skills from a sonographer who performs these exams every day at a high volume medical facility in NYC, and teaches them regularly to medical professionals across the country. I know what tools are needed to perform these exams at a high level. This is the workshop you need to elevate your career!
