During the two days;

the participants will be studyingsonographic examination of the six joints in the Basic side. They will be dealing with pathologies and interventions of theupper/lower limb joints, nerves and muscles in the Advancedside. Further, participants will also be listening to state-of-the-art lectures on innervation zone targeting (in spasticity), diagnosing sarcopenia and spine imaging/interventions in theAdvanced side.  

In both courses, the program comprises hands-on practicalsessions as well as theoretical teaching. Of note, allparticipants (6-7 per machine) will have the chance to workunder the supervision of several experienced instructorsduring the practical sessions.

Upon completion of the two days; 

• those who have attended all (theoretical and practical) sessions will have the right to enter the evaluation as described below
• the 1st part will comprise 25 multiple-choice questions (3 points each) 
• the 2nd part will be practical whereby each participant willbe expected to ‘appropriately‘ demonstrate five structures(5 points each)
• those who score 70 or more will be considered successful
• subjects will be required to score at least 50% of the total score from each part e.g. getting a score of 75 from thewritten part will not let the subject ‘waive‘ the practicalpart
