Advanced/Interventional MSK Ultrasound with Regenerative Medicine Track - Live Course (Feb 21 - 22, 2019)

Advanced/Interventional MSK Ultrasound with Regenerative Medicine Track - Live Course is organized by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute (GCUS) Inc. and will be held from Feb 21 - 22, 2019 at Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute, St Petersburg, Florida, United States of America.

The target audience for this medical event is Physicians, PA's, and clinicians experienced in diagnostic MSK ultrasound with a desire to integrate advanced MSK and regenerative medicine techniques into clinical practice. Physician participants may include (but are not limited to) PM&R, sports medicine, orthopedics, radiology, rheumatology, and pain management. This program is an intermediate to advanced level program that requires at least 6 months previous experience performing diagnostic MSK ultrasound examinations or attendance of a recognized MSK hands-on ultrasound education program. This CME Conference has been approved for a maximum of 16.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.

Description :
Advanced/Interventional MSK Ultrasound with Regenerative Medicine Track Live Training Course is designed to expand and update the participants' skills to integrate advanced MSK applications and ultrasound-guided regenerative medicine techniques into clinical practice. These courses are taught by leading musculoskeletal ultrasound experts that incorporates comprehensive evidence-based lectures and interactive case presentations featuring a 3:1 faculty to participant hands-on scan ratio with live models and human cadaveric specimens. Participants will also have the opportunity to observe live demonstrations of multiple regenerative medicine procedures (diagnosis and techniques) on various live patients with pathologies. These courses are specifically designed for physicians, sonographers and other medical professionals who need advanced/interventional musculoskeletal ultrasound training with a focus on regenerative medicine. GCUS offers two (2) day advanced/interventional MSK ultrasound with regenerative medicine track courses at our facility in St. Petersburg, FL. These courses are held at multiple dates throughout the year, making them the perfect courses for both local participants and participants traveling to Florida. GCUS offers advanced/interventional MSK ultrasound with regenerative medicine track courses as a stand alone three (2) day course, or as part of a week long musculoskeletal ultrasound training and CME program. In the week long program, participants will learn ultrasound techniques for the entire musculoskeletal ultrasound specialty.
