Our Mission
The MSKUS is dedicated to providing state-of-the-art training in the area of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound for Rheumatologists, Orthopedics, Anesthesiologists, Sports Medicine Physicians, Pain Management Physicians, Radiologists, and Sonographers.
This rapidly evolving modality has gained recognition as a powerful diagnostic tool, and in some indications, is recognized as the preferred viable option and rich complement in assessing joint and soft tissue disorders. Musculoskeletal Ultrasound serves as a key tool in the exploding field of Regenerative Medicine and is deemed the standard of care in accurately delivering needle guided regional blocks.
Our two-day and three-day regional training workshops and on-site training programs are designed to provide you with the proper training essential to performing consistent, high-quality examinations and ultrasound guided injections that will enhance your patient care, including complete examination and injection protocols. Physicians will earn up to 16 Category 1 AMA credits.
