A focused, hands-on musculoskeletal ultrasound course designed for staff emergency physicians. High-yield. Practical. Immediately applicable.
POCUS should not be generic. Each discipline asks different clinical questions, works under different constraints, and requires different decisions at the bedside. Training should reflect that.
This workshop is designed specifically for emergency medicine — focused, practical, and aligned with real ED workflows. The emphasis is on high-yield MSK applications and procedural integration, with the goal of immediate clinical translation.
Content limited to high-yield applications relevant to emergency medicine practice. No unnecessary breadth.
Small-group format with live models for scanning and simulation models for procedures. Learn by doing.
Structured to support same-week implementation. Walk out ready to scan.
Perform a simplified ED-approach shoulder ultrasound assessment efficiently and accurately.
Identify key findings in rotator cuff pathology and calcific tendinopathy at the bedside.
Use POCUS to assess joint effusions across elbow, knee, and ankle presentations.
Evaluate the Achilles tendon for clinically relevant pathology using point-of-care ultrasound.
Perform selected ultrasound-guided MSK procedures and regional nerve blocks.
Integrate MSK POCUS findings into clinical decision-making workflows at the bedside.
