Working in collaboration with the University of South Florida College of Medicine, Gulfcoast Ultrasound designed this workshop to complement participation in the Ultrasound Guided Regional Anesthesia program. Participants will have an opportunity to perform ultrasound-guided injection and anesthesia techniques on cadaver specimens.

The optional session will develop skills, enhance confidence, and minimize barriers to integrate these techniques into clinical practice.

Registration is limited to individuals who are registered for the August 27, 2010 course.

WHILE YOU ARE HERE, consider also attending our

Intro to Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course
