Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound Training from Advanced Health Education Center
For physicians, sonographers and other clinicians that need musculoskeletal ultrasound training, Advanced Health Education Center (AHEC) offers two convenient, effective options. Please read on to learn more about these educational opportunities, and gain an overview of what our MSK ultrasound training can do for you.
Our Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound Training Options
At our Houston, Texas campus, AHEC offers a two-day musculoskeletal ultrasound course that is designed to provide you with an outstanding foundation for musculoskeletal ultrasound applications and interpretation; additionally, we offer a one-day, intermediate/advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound course which can provide you with focused, in depth information regarding shoulder examinations. Clinicians who wish to master musculoskeletal ultrasound scanning can greatly benefit from the lecture, case studies and hands on laboratory practice offered at both of our MSK ultrasound training courses.
Why Obtain Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Training?
Musculoskeletal ultrasound is a reliable, accurate diagnostic tool for imaging neuro-musculoskeletal structures and pathology. Practitioners benefit from using this non-invasive, cost effective diagnostic tool, which can be used in the office so that patients will not need to go elsewhere. After our two-day MSK training course, participants should be able to:
- Understand ultrasound physics
- Understand musculoskeletal tissue differentiation
- Perform musculoskeletal ultrasound exams with standard protocols
- Identify normal anatomy within upper and lower extremities
- Identify musculoskeletal pathology
- Write reports
- Annotate and store images
Our course will address the following musculoskeletal areas:
- Shoulder
- Wrist
- Hip
- Knee
- Ankle/Foot
