MSK Ultrasound Mini-Fellowship
Experience the transformative power of ultrasound
MSK Ultrasound Mini-Fellowship
Learn the fundamental skills for MSK Ultrasound at an in-person educational course with Dr. Jay Smith, followed by several distance learning sessions over a two week period.
The Mini-Fellowship is an intensive, short-duration training program designed for hand surgeons interested in integrate minimally invasive techniques using ultrasound guidance into their clinical practices.
Our state-of-the-art training lab at The Institute of Advanced Ultrasound Guided Procedures is designed to optimize your learning experience. The central table is connected to monitor stations around the lab where participants will have an unobstructed view of the procedure and the ultrasound imagery guiding it.
An optional, half-day of in-person training will be available to participants upon request. Go beyond the fundamentals and choose up to three additional applications to explore based on your professional interests.
The training experience was exceptional. I highly recommend this training to any physician who is incorporating MSK ultrasound into their practice.
Dr. Kathi Teixeira – Orthopedic Hand Surgeon
Dr. Smith is an amazing instructor. The course had the perfect balance of lecture/discussion and hands-on lab work. Anyone who either uses ultrasound currently or is thinking about incorporating ultrasound into their practice will learn a lot from this course.
Dr. Brian Williams – Orthopedic Hand Surgeon
The training facility is state of the art. The focus on hands-on training is exactly what I have been looking for and exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend the MSK US Mini-Fellowship to any Hand Surgeon.
