Overview

The Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Registry Review Virtual Conference provides a comprehensive review for those preparing to take the APCA RMSK or ARDMS RMSKS certification exam. This comprehensive registry review virtual conference is taught by leading MSK ultrasound expert Dr. Jon Jacobson and is specifically designed for physicians, sonographers and other medical professionals who need MSK ultrasound registry preparation.

To guarantee the highest industry exam pass rate, this course entails comprehensive lectures reviewing ultrasound system operation and commonly seen artifacts in MSK ultrasound, normal anatomy and sonographic characteristics of commonly seen pathology of the shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, hands, hip, ankle, and foot, ultrasound-guided interventions and integration of patient and imaging data for diagnosis and treatment. Interactive case studies, QA sessions, and mock registry exams using an Audience Response System provide the opportunity to apply the concepts for complete understanding.
