Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks for Emergency Medicine Applications

The Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks for Emergency Medicine Applications Training Course is designed for Emergency Medicine Physicians seeking to integrate ultrasound-guided nerve blocks for pain management and procedural applications into clinical practice. It is the position of American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) that Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are a core skill which emergency physicians are capable of providing to patients. Ultrasound-guided nerve blocks are also a required core competency for graduates of EM residency programs according to the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education (ACGME). The Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks for Emergency Medicine Applications Course is taught by leading emergency medicine/Point-of-Care ultrasound (POCUS) experts that specialize in ultrasound-guided nerve blocks and incorporates comprehensive lectures, interactive case presentations, and extensive hands-on scanning. The hands-on scanning sessions offer the industry lowest 3:1 participant to expert instructor ratio with both standardized patient models (for anatomy and scan technique) and inanimate phantoms (for interventional techniques) to increase confidence and competence to immediately integrate the skills learned into clinical practice. Combine the Ultrasound-Guided Nerve Blocks for Emergency Medicine Applications course with the Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access course, which includes central and peripheral line placement, for the most comprehensive procedural skills training. The combined programs offer a tuition discount and cost-savings in travel expenses.
