Course Overview
Musculoskeletal Ultrasound & Guided Injection Course Overview
This musculoskeletal ultrasound course teaches physicians, NPs, and PAs how to perform ultrasound guided injections with precision and confidence. With advances in MSK transducer technology, providers can now visualize peripheral nerves, tendons, and joint structures in real time for safer, more accurate procedures.
Ultrasound guided injection techniques have demonstrated improved accuracy, reduced recovery time, and better patient outcomes compared to landmark-based approaches. This point-of-care ultrasound training is ideal for treating acute, subacute, and chronic musculoskeletal pain conditions across all major joints.
Earn 6.5 CME credits while training hands-on with Dr. Ernest Roman MD and board-certified pain management faculty. This ultrasound guided injection course complements AAOPM's joint injection training and interventional pain management programs.
