Regenerative Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound - Live Course (Aug 19 - 20, 2021)

Regenerative Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound - Live Course is organized by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute (GCUS) Inc. and will be held from Aug 19 - 20, 2021 at Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute, St. petersburg, Florida, United States of America.

Target Audience:
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.

Accreditation:
The Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute designates this live activity for a maximum of 16.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Successful completion of this CME activity, which includes participation in the evaluation component, enables the participant to earn up to 16.00 Medical Knowledge MOC points in the American Board of Internal Medicine’s (ABIM) Maintenance of Certification (MOC) program. It is the CME activity provider’s responsibility to submit participant completion information to ACCME for the purpose of granting ABIM MOC credit.

Description:
Regenerative Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound 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. The Regenerative Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Live Training Course is taught by leading musculoskeletal ultrasound experts that incorporates comprehensive evidence-based lectures and interactive case presentations. Extensive hands-on skills training is provided featuring a 3:1 participant to faculty hands-on scan ratio with live models, inanimate phantoms, and human cadaveric specimens. Participants will also have the opportunity to observe live demonstrations of multiple regenerative medicine (PRP) procedures (diagnosis and techniques) on various live patients with pathologies. These courses are specifically designed for physicians, sonographers and other medical professionals who need Regenerative Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound training. Learn the advanced and regenerative medicine musculoskeletal essentials and increase your confidence to integrate the skills into clinical practice and expand MSK ultrasound services to offer your patients.
