Course Description

Apply ultrasound in your practice with a course designed for every physiatrist. Try ultrasound for the first time to see how it will best fit your area of specialty expertise. This course is designed for “every physiatrist” to get started with applying ultrasound to patients with musculoskeletal and neurologic diagnoses for diagnostic and interventional applications. Interactive hands-on experiences allow clinicians to begin to develop the understanding and manual skills needed to improve their practice with clinical ultrasound. Over 8 hours of hands-on time allows physiatrists to experience ultrasound first-hand.

Directors

William A. Berrigan, MD, and Samuel K. Chu, MD
