FAQ

Joint Injection Training FAQ for Physicians

Common questions about joint injection training for physicians.

Yes. Any licensed physician (MD/DO) can perform joint injections after completing appropriate training. Family medicine, internal medicine, sports medicine, emergency medicine, PM&R, orthopedic, and rheumatology physicians commonly add these procedures to their practices. No prior interventional experience is required for our foundational course.

This comprehensive course covers large joint injections (shoulder, hip, knee, sacroiliac), trigger point therapy, viscosupplementation for arthritis, and specialty injections for common conditions including tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, carpal tunnel, De Quervain's, plantar fasciitis, and various bursitis conditions (trochanteric, prepatellar, pes anserine).

Yes. AAOPM is accredited by the ACCME (Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education). This Joint & Extremity Injection Course provides 6.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits, which are recognized by medical boards nationwide and count toward your continuing education requirements.

Joint injections typically reimburse $100-300+ per procedure depending on the joint, complexity, and payer. With 4-6 patients per day performing procedures and patients returning every 3-6 months for repeat treatments, many physicians add $50,000-100,000+ annually to their practice revenue. The ROI on training is typically achieved within the first few weeks of practice.

Joint injections using the palpatory (landmark-guided) approach taught in this course require minimal equipment—primarily needles, syringes, and medications. This approach allows you to start performing procedures immediately without investing in imaging equipment. For those interested in ultrasound guidance, AAOPM offers an Ultrasound-Guided Injection course as an advanced training option.

AAOPM provides ongoing support including access to our physician community, clinical resources, injection protocols, and faculty consultations. We also offer pathways to AAOPM Board Certification in Pain Management and advanced courses in ultrasound-guided injections, advanced pain management, and regenerative medicine procedures.
