Fellowship in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound
Develop expertise in musculoskeletal ultrasound, dynamic joint assessment, and ultrasound-guided procedures for accurate diagnosis and clinical decision-making.
Course Overview
The Fellowship in Musculoskeletal (MSK) Ultrasound is a focused postgraduate training program designed to develop expertise in the ultrasound evaluation of muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, nerves, and soft tissues. The program emphasizes high-resolution ultrasound techniques, dynamic assessment, Doppler applications, and ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal interventions, with structured exposure to sports medicine, rheumatology, orthopedics, and rehabilitation settings. This fellowship prepares clinicians and radiologists for competent independent practice in MSK ultrasound.
