About Us
Expand your procedural toolkit with ultrasound-guided injection training designed for physician assistants. Master transducer positioning, image optimization, and precise needle guidance from expert faculty in our hands-on course.
Our Ultrasound-Guided Procedures Course is designed for physician assistants who want to add image-guided injection techniques to expand their value in pain management and musculoskeletal practices.
A comprehensive curriculum covering everything physician assistants need to safely and effectively perform ultrasound-guided injections.
Master ultrasound fundamentals including image optimization, transducer selection, frequency settings, and gain adjustment. Understand the principles that create high-quality diagnostic images.
Learn precise needle guidance using In-Plane and Out-of-Plane approaches. Practice transducer manipulation, needle visualization, and real-time injection monitoring for shoulder, hip, knee, and extremity procedures.
Identify anatomical structures on ultrasound including tendons, ligaments, nerves, and joint spaces. Learn sonographic landmarks for each injection site.
Master transducer movements: sliding, tilting, rotating, and compression. Develop the hand-eye coordination essential for accurate guidance.
Review corticosteroids, viscosupplementation, PRP, and other injectates. Learn appropriate dosing and injection protocols for each condition.
Understand CPT codes, documentation requirements, and proper charting for ultrasound-guided procedures to support reimbursement.
Understanding your capabilities and opportunities in ultrasound-guided interventional procedures.
Physician assistants practice medicine under the supervision or delegation of a licensed physician. Ultrasound-guided procedures fall within the PA scope when delegated by your supervising physician. With proper training and demonstrated competency, your supervising physician can delegate these procedures to you, allowing you to perform them as part of your collaborative practice agreement. AAOPM certification provides the documentation needed to demonstrate your training and competency.
PAs with procedural skills including ultrasound-guided injections command higher salaries and have expanded career options in pain management.
Supervision requirements vary by state—from on-site supervision to remote collaboration. Many states allow PAs to perform procedures with general supervision, meaning the physician doesn't need to be physically present for each procedure.
Ultrasound skills open doors to specialized positions in pain clinics, orthopedic practices, sports medicine, and procedural-focused PA roles with premium compensation.
AAOPM certification provides documentation of your ultrasound training for hospital credentialing, practice agreements, and demonstrating competency to your supervising physician. Our certificates help facilitate the delegation of ultrasound-guided procedures within your collaborative practice.
Our ultrasound-guided procedures course is ideal for PAs looking to add image guidance to their injection skills. Discuss this training opportunity with your supervising physician—many physicians are eager to delegate ultrasound-guided procedures to trained PAs to increase practice efficiency and patient access.
