Next Step Interventional Ultrasound: Hands-on PM&R

Generic Event Image
Tuesday, November 10, 2026
Wednesday, November 11, 2026
12:00 AM - 12:00 AM Central Standard Time

Course Description

This cadaver-based course is intended for the intermediate physiatrist ultra sonographer and will highlight joint injections, soft tissue injections, and identification of muscles commonly targeted in EMG or spasticity management. A combination of didactic lectures coupled with hands-on guided procedures using cadaveric specimens and dry lab stations will be used to advance your skill set. Expert faculty will guide small groups in performing the most common ultrasound guided procedures for a physiatrist.


Directors

Zachary P. Bailowitz, MD FAAPMR and Brittany J. Moore, MD FAAPMR

 

Learning Objectives
At the completion of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Describe the value and limitations of ultrasound as a diagnostic and interventional tool.
  • Produce an optimal ultrasound image of specific structures in live patients and in a cadaver for preparation for an ultrasound guided injection by demonstrating a command of knowledge over transducer orientation and adjusting ultrasound picture for depth,
  • focal zone, gain, time-gain compensation, frequency, and beam steering. 
  • Articulate the injection setup for common musculoskeletal injections (e.g., ultrasound orientation, needle approach, target structure, typical needle size/gauge, and injectate volume).
  • Accurately direct/track a needle towards targeted structures using MSK ultrasound.
  • Accurately identify needle insertion points based on anatomy required for electrodiagnostic and spasticity management injections.
