The SRMS MSK US Course 2023 will be held on 14th October 2023 at The Academia, SGH (full-day).
The course is being revamped as a 3-yearly syllabus intended for synchronisation with the Rehabilitation Medicine Senior Residency programmes, to encourage uptake of ultrasonography among younger specialists, and allow participants to be exposed to a breadth of topics with specific relevance to the specialty. “Basic/theoretical principles” lectures will focus on rehabilitation-specific concepts, with live scanning for the upper and lower limb as well as special zones split across the 3 years.
Register here for this year’s course.
