One-on-One Ultrasound Pain Medicine Workshop
“Tailored to Your Practice Needs”
This one-day workshop was developed for both novice and advanced providers who would like to either learn the basics or further their skills in ultrasound guided Pain Medicine. Participants will have up to eight (8) hours hands-on ultrasound scanning on live models of different body habitus to learn and identify different sono-anatomy pertaining to Pain Medicine. A pre-course reading material will be provided to minimize didactic portion of the workshop. At the end of the workshop, a participant will be expected to have gained thorough knowledge and immense confidence in the use of ultrasound for Pain Medicine practice.
Learning Objectives
As a result of participating in this activity, the learner will be able to:
• Describe and discuss the basic principles of ultrasound
• Identify normal sono‐anatomy and aberrations
• Describe nerve blocks and procedures for various pain conditions
• Increase the ability to detect critical structures and improve patient safety while performing
pain procedures
• Demonstrate needle insertion techniques for ultrasound guided nerve blocks, both in‐plane
and out‐of‐plane
• Improve block success rate and patient satisfaction
• Perform spinal | epidural and large joint imaging with ultrasound

Q: Will there be any cadaver training? All scanning is done on live models (of different body habitus) and needling practice is done on phantoms. No cadaver training is involved.
Q: What are the training hours? 8 AM-2 PM on a Saturday or Sunday
Q: What ultrasound machines are used for training? Training is done with the latest Sonosite LX and GE V-scan Air (handheld) ultrasound machines, offering the best image quality currently available.
