3-Day Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound Workshop

NEXT DATE TBA

Learn to Scan MSK With Confidence

Take your ultrasound skills beyond the basics with a dedicated 3-day hands-on MSK ultrasound workshop.

This course is designed for clinicians who want to develop a systematic approach to musculoskeletal ultrasound and gain significantly more practical scanning experience than can be achieved in a single introductory day.

The emphasis is on hands-on scanning: live demonstrations, supervised image acquisition, systematic examination of anatomical regions, dynamic assessment and direct instructor feedback.

You won’t simply watch someone scan. You will scan yourself, repeatedly, with an instructor beside you correcting your technique and helping you understand what you are seeing.

The course follows established approaches to systematic MSK ultrasound examination, including the major regions of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle. (ESSR)

Before the Workshop — Online Preparation

Before attending the practical sessions, participants receive online preparatory material covering the essential foundations required for the hands-on course.

Online preparation includes:

MSK ultrasound principles
Ultrasound terminology
Probe selection and handling
Basic knobology and image optimization
Ultrasound artifacts
Basic MSK sonoanatomy
Introduction to systematic MSK scanning

Participants must complete the required material and online quiz before attending the practical workshop.

This allows the three days to focus primarily on practical scanning rather than lengthy introductory lectures.

What You’ll Actually Do

Across three full days you will:

Perform hands-on scanning on real patients/models
Learn systematic regional scanning protocols
Identify normal MSK sonoanatomy
Practice probe positioning and orientation
Optimize ultrasound images
Perform dynamic examinations
Learn to recognize common abnormalities
Compare normal and abnormal appearances
Practice Doppler where clinically appropriate
Receive individual correction of your scanning technique
Interpret the images you acquire
Discuss clinical applications and limitations

Small Practical Groups

Approximately 4–5 participants per instructor to maximize individual scanning time and feedback.

The aim is to give every participant meaningful time with the probe rather than spending the day sitting through demonstrations.

Course Programme

Selected foot structures
Joint recesses

Clinical applications include:

Achilles tendinopathy

Skills Developed Throughout the 3 Days

Image Optimization

Learn to optimize your images using:

Depth
Gain
Focus
Frequency
Probe selection
Doppler settings
Appropriate machine controls

Dynamic Ultrasound

Understand when movement can provide additional diagnostic information and practice dynamic assessment of relevant tendons, joints and soft tissues.

Artifacts & Pitfalls

Learn to recognize common ultrasound artifacts and technical errors, including issues such as anisotropy that can lead to incorrect interpretation.

Normal Sonoanatomy

A strong understanding of normal anatomy is the foundation of MSK ultrasound. You will repeatedly compare normal structures with pathological appearances.

Clinical Integration

Understand:

When MSK ultrasound is useful
What ultrasound can demonstrate
Common limitations
How findings relate to the clinical presentation
When additional imaging or assessment may be appropriate

Who Is This Course For?

This workshop is suitable for healthcare professionals who want to develop practical MSK ultrasound skills, including:

Radiologists
Emergency physicians
Sports medicine physicians
Orthopedic clinicians
Rheumatologists
Rehabilitation and physical medicine clinicians
Other appropriately qualified healthcare professionals using or planning to use MSK ultrasound

The course is designed as a comprehensive practical MSK introduction and does not require advanced previous MSK ultrasound experience.

What You Leave With

Certificate of Completion
Training hours stated on the certificate
Online preparatory material
Pre-course quiz
Three full days of practical MSK ultrasound training
Supervised hands-on scanning
Experience across major upper- and lower-limb regions
Individual instructor feedback
A systematic framework for continuing your MSK ultrasound practice

Want More Than 3 Days?

The standard programme is 3 days.

If you want additional scanning time or deeper training in particular areas, additional dedicated days can be arranged.

Possible additional training days include:

Advanced MSK ultrasound
Sports MSK ultrasound
Peripheral nerve ultrasound
Rheumatology-focused ultrasound
Advanced pathology and case-based scanning
Ultrasound-guided procedures
Ultrasound-guided injections
Additional supervised scanning and image interpretation

Build your training progressively — complete the 3-day MSK foundation first, then add dedicated specialty days according to your interests and clinical needs.
