Introduction and Advanced/interventional & Regenerative Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound With Cadaver Lab (Aug 14 - 18, 2023)

Introduction and Advanced/interventional & Regenerative Medicine Musculoskeletal Ultrasound With Cadaver Lab is organized by Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute (GCUS) Inc. and will be held from Aug 14 - 18, 2023 at Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute, St. Petersburg, Florida, United States of America.

Overview :
Introduction to Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course With Interventional Cadaver Lab Provides Participants a Comprehensive Introduction to Musculoskeletal Ultrasound on Topics Based on Aium Practice Guidelines. These Courses Are Taught by Leading Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Experts That Incorporates Comprehensive Lectures on Upper and Lower Extremity Applications, Live Scanning Demonstrations, and Interactive Case Presentations Featuring a 3:1 Participant to Faculty Hands-on Scan Ratio With Live Models, Phantoms and Human Cadaver Labs. 

Performing Ultrasound-guided Interventions Requires a Strong Knowledge Base Pertaining to Scanning Techniques, Recognition of Normal Anatomy, Pathologic Conditions, and Needle-guidance Techniques. The Use of Human Cadaveric Specimens Allows the Learner to Augment the Scanning and Interventional Skills in Order to Immediately Begin Integrating the Skills Into Clinical Practice.

Advanced Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: Interventional and Regenerative Medicine Live Training Course is Taught by Leading Experts in the Field of Msk Ultrasound That Incorporates Comprehensive Lectures and Interactive Case Presentations. This Course Features Extensive Hands-on Scanning With a 3:1 Participant to Faculty Hands-on Scanning With Live Models, Inanimate Phantoms, and Human Cadaveric Specimens for Advanced Applications and Ultrasound-guided Procedures. Learn the Advanced and Interventional Musculoskeletal Essentials and Increase Confidence to Integrate the Skills Into Clinical Practice and Expand Msk Ultrasound Services to Offer Your Patients.
