Diagnostic Musculoskeletal Ultrasound: This 2-day course will focus on how ultrasound can be used to make musculoskeletal diagnoses more precisely, accurately and efficiently as well as how findings can be applied clinically. This will enable a more targeted treatment approach to patients suffering from soft tissue injuries such as Achilles tendinopathy, Flexor Carpi Ulnaris injury, and Shoulder tendinopathy. The course will include live dog labs, lectures, and hands-on experience with ultrasound.
