The course covers essential knowledge and practical skills across two intensive days. Day 1 focuses on upper limb nerve anatomy, scanning techniques, and pathology case discussions, including detailed sonoanatomy of the median, ulnar, radial, and brachial plexus nerves, plus upper limb sensory nerves. Day 2 builds on this foundation with lower limb nerve scanning, measurement protocols, current guidelines for entrapment and inflammatory neuropathies, and introduces muscle and respiratory muscle ultrasound. Participants benefit from a 3:1 ratio of learners to ultrasound systems, ensuring hands-on access and personalized feedback.
The course is suitable for healthcare professionals across multiple specialties: neurologists, physiatrists, radiologists, orthopedic surgeons, pain management specialists, and other healthcare providers seeking basic to intermediate proficiency in nerve ultrasound. Expert faculty including renowned neurologist Prof. Dr. Nens van Alfen and experienced MSK sonographers guide participants through anatomy, proper scanning technique including probe manipulation and patient positioning, recognition of normal and abnormal nerve appearances, image acquisition and interpretation, and clinical integration of findings into patient care.
Upon completion, participants receive a SonoSkills Certificate of Attendance and proof of CME points. The course is held in Amsterdam, Netherlands, close to the city centre and airport.
