The Essentials of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: A Hands-On Workshop
Thursday April 27, 2023 – 07:00-16:00
Le Westin Montreal
270 Saint-Antoine Ouest
This one-day hands-on workshop will feature didactic lectures and small group, comprehensive dedicated training focused on the most important practical aspects of musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS). Designed for practicing radiologists, this workshop is structured to simulate real-case reporting. Short high-impact didactic reviews will be followed by training opportunities on MSKUS utilization and techniques of the upper and lower extremities.
Participants will cycle through five rotations, with two ultrasound machines in each room. With a faculty-to-participant ratio of ten participants to 2-3 faculty, participants will benefit from individualized instructor feedback small group discussions, expert feedback, and plenty of time for hands-on practice. Each rotation will include a brief didactic lecture, scanning demonstrations followed by opportunities for participants to practice on live models and interact with faculty from across the country.
Overall Workshop Learning Objectives
Following active participation in this simulation workshop, participants should be able to:
- Describe musculoskeletal anatomy and biomechanics of musculoskeletal ultrasound.
- Demonstrate comprehensive skills for performing musculoskeletal examinations.
- Apply techniques to perform transducer positions to improve musculoskeletal ultrasound skills
Target Audience
This workshop is designed for general radiologists, radiologists-in-training and sonographers involved in protocolling, imaging and assessment of musculoskeletal injuries.
This workshop is accredited as a Section 3 Simulation activity by the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada, credits are recognized by Sonography Canada as one credit per hour of learning activity.
