13th Annual UCLA Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course and Hands-On Workshop

Saturday, February 14, 2026, 7:00 AM - Sunday, February 15, 2026, 5:00 PM, Santa Monica, CA

The UCLA Department of Radiological Sciences, in collaboration with lead physicians from the departments of Rheumatology, Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, is proud to offer a comprehensive interdisciplinary musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound hands-on learning experience. The MSK Ultrasound Course and Hands-On Workshop will review pertinent aspects of upper and lower extremity ultrasound critical for clinical application. This weekend course will include, in addition to basic MSK ultrasound of joints, current topics such as MSK ultrasound intervention, ultrasound of peripheral nerves, ultrasound of muscle, pediatric sports ultrasound, and MSK ultrasound economics. A multidisciplinary approach will be emphasized through interaction with physicians from various subspecialties.

The course also features live, split-screen video demonstrations of basic MSK ultrasound scan techniques essential for appropriate clinical application. In addition, the interactive hands-on workshop will provide ample opportunity for participants to practice techniques learned in the lectures via focused, small group training with subspecialists. Two concurrent tracks will be available (introductory and intermediate tracks), each offering a more personalized lecture and hands-on training experience tailored to the participant’s particular skill level and experience with MSK ultrasound.

INTRODUCTORY TRACK

Suggested for those participants interested in learning and developing basic MSK ultrasound scan techniques and protocol. This track is appropriate for those with limited or no prior MSK ultrasound experience. Lectures will focus on fundamentals of MSK ultrasound as it relates to scanning the main joints of the upper and lower extremity.

INTERMEDIATE TRACK

Suggested for those participants who have a basic understanding of normal MSK ultrasound anatomy and scan techniques, and who are interested in further advancing their MSK ultrasound knowledge and refining their skills. This track is appropriate for those who may have attended a prior MSK ultrasound course, or who have some clinical experience with MSK ultrasound. Lectures will include current, more advanced topics that can enhance basic MSK ultrasound knowledge.

*Once you select your registration option, you will be prompted to choose either the introductory or intermediate track in the registration survey. Please note that track selection is not applicable to the Lecture Only registration option.
