MSK Ultrasound

Learn MSK Ultrasound in an Immersive & Risk-Free Environment

Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Training

SonoSim's comprehensive musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound training series is designed to help medical education programs and healthcare professionals learn & teach MSK ultrasound. This musculoskeletal ultrasound training curriculum is suitable for learners of all levels of experience. 

Novice learners will benefit from the anatomy & physiology MSK ultrasound training content that covers a variety of bony, joint, and soft-tissue anatomy and physiology in a head-to-toe manner. And diagnostic medical sonography (DMS) students pursuing an MSK certification and more advanced learners will benefit from in-depth MSK imaging protocol instruction and ultrasound-guided joint aspiration and injection training. 

Our curriculum, authored by leading experts in MSK ultrasound, is peer-reviewed and CME-accredited. Every topic in our curriculum includes a course, virtual scanning cases with simulated Doppler imaging, knowledge assessments, scanning assignments, and guided imaging protocols that adhere to professional society guidelines (e.g., AIUM, CAAHEP), and a Mastery Exam. Participants have the opportunity to earn certificates, build their MSK ultrasound image portfolios, and claim CME credits as needed. 

SonoSim online MSK ultrasound courses provide the background declarative knowledge required to perform a variety of MSK applications. The SonoSimulator® coupled with procedural assignments helps you develop image acquisition, image interpretation, needle visualization using in- and out-of-plane guidance, and real-time needle guidance. 

SonoSim's innovative platform integrates real patient anatomy with hands-on simulation, allowing you to learn using real ultrasound anatomy, including imaging artifacts. Training on appropriately applying Doppler techniques is included.
