About this Event
Learn how to use ultrasound as an effective and non-invasive modality to assess, diagnose, and provide therapy for various musculoskeletal conditions of the upper and lower extremities. The course will cover basic concepts of diagnostic musculoskeletal sonography and progress to assessment of pathology on sonographic images. Join us for our injection clinic to uncover the full complement of musculoskeletal procedures and interventions that can be performed under ultrasound guidance.
