Full Course Description
The foundational MSK Ultrasound Bootcamp LE course is the second of two courses. The first course in the series covers the upper extremity and is a prerequisite for the MSK Ultrasound Bootcamp LE course.
Course Format
Similar to the MSK Ultrasound Bootcamp YE course, the course is offered as a hybrid or blended course, combining online and onsite learning. Blended learning adds an exciting element to classroom teaching that supports mastering newly learned skills. The course incorporates many of the best aspects of face-to-face teaching (personalized learning and social interaction), while allowing greater variety and flexibility than a traditional classroom setup. Between the two courses, you will review over 190 professionally recorded videos totaling 20 hours of on-demand content valued at US$700, available to you before, during, and for six months after the course.
During the hands-on part of the course, we feature one ultrasound system per three students.
