NEW for 2024!

Submit an Abstract or Medically Challenging Case for Poster Presentation

Now included is the option for registrants to describe their work to world-renowned acute pain leaders, while networking with other course participants. Posters will be displayed during a time when both participants and faculty are gathered in the same room for networking and learning. Anyone interested in sharing an abstract must bring their poster in a digital format ready to be displayed during the course.

Begin with pre-course eLearning before you arrive, which allows for maximum hands-on practice time with expert faculty once you are onsite.

The video modules will cover a variety of topics, some of which include:

Basic ultrasound and needling approaches
Ultrasound physics, artifacts, pitfalls, and complications
General introduction, ultrasound-guided nerve blocks: Are they better than nerve stimulation?
Upper limb nerve block options and evidence supporting their use
Lower limb nerve blocks and ultrasound safety
Sonoanatomy and techniques for truncal and chest
Billing and documentation in different jurisdictions
Local anesthetic systemic toxicity (LAST)

Once on site, you'll spend the bulk of the time doing hands-on practice in small groups with expert faculty leaders. You'll learn about each focused area via hands-on live model scanning as well as using meat phantom needling, clinical scenarios, and anatomy stations. As you rotate through the stations, you'll be able to practice on upper limb, lower limb, and chest and trunk areas. You'll be supported by world-renowned faculty sharing their knowledge and experience in a highly interactive, small group learning environment.
