Join Day One Only or Attend Both Days

Learn how to use ultrasound as an effective and non-invasive modality to assess, diagnose, and provide therapy for various musculoskeletal conditions in the upper and lower extremities. The one-day course option will cover basic concepts of diagnostic musculoskeletal sonography and progress to assessment of pathology on sonographic images. For the two-day course, join us to review and practice the wide array of musculoskeletal procedures and interventions that can be performed under ultrasound guidance. Sign up for 1 day or 2 days.
