AMSSM SPORTS ULTRASOUND ONLINE DIDACTICS

These modules were created by the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine's Sports Ultrasound Committee to cover the didactic instructional sessions outlined in the AMSSM Recommended Sports Ultrasound Curriculum for Sports Medicine Fellowships. There is no charge for these instructional sessions.

The videos cover all of the didactic instructional session topics recommended for sports medicine fellows by the AMSSM. Each video provides a concise overview of the relevant topic. The topics are divided into the following sections:
  • Introductory lectures for diagnostic and interventional sports ultrasound
  • Live video demonstrations of diagnostic ultrasound examinations of the basic/required structures of the shoulder, elbow, wrist-hand, hip, knee, and foot-ankle
  • Live video demonstrations of diagnostic ultrasound examinations of the ADVANCED/OPTIONAL structures of the shoulder, brachial plexus, elbow, wrist, hand-finger, hip, knee, leg-ankle, and foot, as well as the ocular examination, RUSH examination, eFAST examination, and DVT examination. These modules are not currently available for CME.
  • The sonographic appearance of relevant pathology for each region
  • Interventional procedures for each region

Following each presentation, you will be directed to a post-test covering the key concepts from the video. Each test will contain 5-7 multiple choice and/or true-false questions.
