Overview:

This two-day workshop, sponsored by Pegasus Lectures and Canon Medical, is designed for healthcare professionals with little to no ultrasound scanning experience. It is the ideal introduction to performing diagnostic musculoskeletal ultrasound and ultrasound-guided injections. Program director, Jamie Bie, RMSKS, RDMS, RVT, is the Senior Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Specialist in the Department of Radiology at Columbia University Medical Center in NYC, and is a pioneer in the field of MSK Ultrasound. In addition to extensive lecturing and hands-on teaching, Jamie Bie is the author of “Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: A Comprehensive Guide to MSK Imaging and Interventional Techniques, 1st Edition”.

Participants will learn the normal and abnormal appearances of the anatomical structures of the upper and lower extremities in addition to scan techniques and image optimization. Topics covered include an overview of the ultrasound system settings and transducers necessary to perform MSK, Live scanning demonstrations of each anatomical structure as seen on ultrasound, scanning tips, step-by-step protocols, and preparing for ultrasound-guided MSK injections. Hands-on scanning sessions with live models provide each participant with ample instructor-guided practice sessions. 

What You'll Learn:

• How to dentify normal musculoskeletal anatomy encountered during ultrasound imaging
• Scanning protocols for shoulder, elbow, wrist/hand, hip, knee, ankle/foot, and peripheral nerve ultrasound examinations
• Anatomical targets and landmarks key in identifying MSK structures
• Proper transducer placement and system optimization to generate diagnostic ultrasound images
• Set-up and technique necessary to perform upper and lower extremity ultrasound-guided MSK injections

What You'll Get:

• Up to 79 CME credits!
• Combination of didactic and live scanning lectures to maximize retention of MSK Ultrasound concepts and interventional techniques
• Limited registration with 4:1 student to instructor ratio for hands-on scanning
• Breakfast and lunch served both days.
• BONUS: Fully illustrated 840-page course text “Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: A Comprehensive Guide to MSK Imaging and Interventional Techniques, 1st Edition” included. Up to 20 SDMS credits available.
• BONUS: “Fundamentals of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound eCourse” included. Participants can watch scan labs in addition to anatomy and pathology lectures from home at their own pace. Up to 47 AMA PRA Category 1 credits available.

This Is For You If: 

This workshop is designed for physicians, physician assistants, ultrasound technologists, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, and other healthcare professionals interested in learning or refining existing skills in musculoskeletal ultrasound and ultrasound guided interventional procedures. Delivered in a highly interactive format with ample opportunity for hands-on practice with live models, this program focuses on musculoskeletal fundamentals, scanning protocols, and injection demonstrations. This workshop will improve your ability to recognize and treat dysfunctions of the musculoskeletal system.
