Differentiate musculoskeletal injury from arthritic change and manage your patient’s problem today. Guide common injections and get better treatment outcomes for your patients.

Objectives

On completion of this two-day clinically focused ultrasound program, learners will:

  • Use ultrasound system controls to optimise imaging for accurate diagnosis
  • Develop proficiency in probe manipulation to efficiently acquire diagnostic images
  • Describe the limitations and clinical integration of the following ultrasound examinations:
    • common extensor tendon
    • shoulder joint
    • Achilles tendon
    • Quadriceps tendon
    • Plantar fascia
    • Gastrocnemius muscle
    • Patella tendon
  • Use a systematic approach to conduct ultrasound assessment of
    1. Gross muscle tears
    2. Bursitis
    3. Joint effusions
    4. Tendon injury
    5. Fractures
  • Demonstrate ultrasound guided needle placement in- plane and out of plane for musculoskeletal injections as practiced on ultrasound simulators
  • Describe the optimum patient positioning and needle approach for common injections

A great training course is only the beginning of your ultrasound learning journey

To help you master ultrasound and lasting change from training we engage you from the outset

Before your course:
There are pre course activities & access to preparatory learning resources to maximise your in-class experience

During your course:

  • Short, sharp information sessions to provide foundational knowledge and clinical context
  • Lots of hands-on practical sessions with real people to scan (including for TV and obstetric scans). Our standardised patients models vary in age, size, shape and mobility to make the transition to clinical reality easier.
  • Case studies led by practising clinicians to demonstrate clinical utility
  • A variety of different machines to learn on
  • At the conclusion of your course we’ll lead you to create a skills development action plan, creating a pathway that you can use to apply your newly acquired skills, promote clinical integration and ultimately reach your final objective – ultrasound competency

After your course:
The learning continues

  • We encourage self-directed learning in the workplace with structured active learning plans
  • A great selection of free access online medical ultrasound (FoamUS) learning resources
  • You can subscribe to the weekly wrap – a weekly curation of ultrasound related hot tips and journal articles
  • Be a part of our community of clever – Join our peer support network with our monthly “Coaching Corner” sessions. Send in your questions, join the live online meeting and have your questions answered.

The Zedu Redo – our commitment to you

We encourage you to refresh your training with us by taking up the opportunity to return within 12 months and do a complimentary redo of this course at no cost (subject to availability)
