MSK US of the Shoulder and Knee for the Occupational Medicine Physician: A Cadaveric Hands-On Injection Workshop

This course is designed for the occupational medicine physician who sees a consistent amount of musculoskeletal injuries. Many of these injuries are at the knee and shoulder and at times will require both diagnostic and therapeutic injection therapy for management. 

The course will emphasize ultrasound guided injections based upon a clear understanding of the anatomy for those practitioners that wish to provide further management at the point of care. Live models and cadavers will be used for training throughout the course.

The course will bridge the medical intervention with physical function.  An emphasis will be upon how ultrasound allows the clinician to safely place patients at maximum medical improvement and aid in the determination of safe work capacity.
