 /postmarked 21 days or more prior to the beginning date of the program
 .\n\nCourse Objectives:\nAt the completion of this program, the partic
 ipant should be able to:\n\n1. Discuss the fundamentals of U/S physics
  & instrumentation.\n2. Explain the advantages of using ultrasound-gui
 ded nerve block techniques.\n3. Identify the topographic and cross-sec
 tional brachial plexus anatomy.\n4. Demonstrate imaging techniques for
  performing ultrasound-guided upper extremities anesthesia using inter
 scalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular, axillary and forearm nerve 
 blocks on live models.\n5. Demonstrate imaging techniques for performi
 ng ultrasound-guided lower extremity anesthesia using femoral, poplite
 al and ankle nerve blocks on live models.\n6. List the indications and
  applications for performing ultrasound-guided central venous catheter
  placement and apply skills using inanimate phantoms.\n7. Increase the
  participants’ knowledge to better perform ultrasound-guided regiona
 l anesthesia procedures.\n8. Optional: Perform ultrasound-guided injec
 tion techniques on human cadaver specimens.\n\n\nCourse Topics:\n\n•
