Agenda
Our CME workshop consists of a two-day session. On the first day, we will learn about and practice on manikins FDA-approved Botox treatment options. We will also be performing joint injections and peripheral nerve blocks on manikins. With practice, these procedures will become much less formidable than they seem.
On the second day, we will focus on ultrasonography skills and basic joint, ligament, and nerve localization techniques. These skills are helpful for joint injections, nerve blocks, vascular access, and much more.
On both days, there will be a didactic session where we will use correlative anatomy and pathology to facilitate understanding of signs and symptoms. These concepts will be reinforced with extensive case studies to highlight differential diagnosis, risk reduction, treatment, and complication management. We hope to build a road map for diagnosing and treating common orthopedic, neurological, spinal, and headache-related conditions. This session is optional.
Please see below for an example schedule. Please also note that the curriculum may change based on faculty preference. Accreditation information is located at the bottom of this page.
