Overview

The Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Registry Review Virtual Conference provides a comprehensive review for those preparing to take the APCA RMSK or ARDMS RMSKS certification exam. This comprehensive registry review virtual conference is taught by leading MSK ultrasound expert Dr. Jon Jacobson and is specifically designed for physicians, sonographers and other medical professionals who need MSK ultrasound registry preparation.

To guarantee the highest industry exam pass rate, this course entails comprehensive lectures reviewing ultrasound system operation and commonly seen artifacts in MSK ultrasound, normal anatomy and sonographic characteristics of commonly seen pathology of the shoulder, knee, elbow, wrist, hands, hip, ankle, and foot, ultrasound-guided interventions and integration of patient and imaging data for diagnosis and treatment. Interactive case studies, QA sessions, and mock registry exams using an Audience Response System provide the opportunity to apply the concepts for complete understanding.

All participants will receive a bonus 5-day access to the online version of the MSK registry review course as well as access to the private GCUS Registry Review Facebook Group (benefits unique to Gulfcoast Ultrasound Institute). The FB group provides additional content, exam strategies and a forum to ask questions and hear back directly from the experts anytime during your preparation process. Additionally, the GCUS Registry Review PASS Guarantee offers you access to the online course version of your registry review program for 90 days if you do not pass your registry exam after completing one of our review programs.
