Overview

The Registered Musculoskeletal (RMSK) Registry Review online course is designed to prepare the physician and clinician to successfully take the APCA RMSK sonography certification exam. 

Upper and lower extremity joints are covered in great detail, including anatomy/physiology, scan protocols and normal sonographic characteristics, pathology, integration of data and treatment/interventional techniques. The APCA RMSK content outline indicates that 26% of the exam pertains to ultrasound physics so this online course includes a comprehensive review of Sonography Principles & Instrumentation (Physics). Post-module quizzes and two mock exams allow for assessment of comprehension of the material. 

This online course is the ideal choice for examination preparation, plus reinforcement of interpretation skills to improve competence and confidence to perform and/or interpret MSK ultrasound examinations.
