Currently, the ACGME anesthesia residency guidelines require the performance of 40 peripheral nerve blocks during training and require anesthesia fellows to demonstrate competence in bedside point of care ultrasound for use in placement and management of neuraxial and peripheral blocks.
The Ultrasound-Guided Vascular Access & Regional Anesthesia Blended Combined Course is designed for medical professionals seeking additional didactic and hands-on skills training in ultrasound-guided vascular access and regional anesthesia techniques for surgery and pain management. This course is planned in accordance with the current Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), ACGME, and ACEP ultrasound practice guidelines and provides participants a strong foundation to perform central and peripheral line techniques. This course also includes topics based on current ASRA ultrasound practice guidelines, including upper extremity, lower extremity, truncal, and miscellaneous blocks (see topics section for more details). The Blended Education format provides flexibility while saving you time and minimizing travel costs.
Begin with the self-paced online course: Taught by leading anesthesia and emergency medicine ultrasound experts that specialize in ultrasound guidance, the online course incorporates comprehensive, interactive lectures, case presentations, and post-activity quizzes with fifteen (15) months unlimited access.
Then attend the Scanning Skills Workshop: Join us in sunny St. Petersburg, FL for a (2) Two Days (12 Hours) Scanning Skills Workshop at our state-of-the-art facility. The extensive hands-on scanning skills workshop features the industry lowest 3:1 participant to faculty ratio with both standardized patient models (anatomy) and inanimate phantoms (interventional techniques), allowing the participant to immediately integrate the skills learned into clinical practice.
For the best ultrasound education experience, completion of the online courses prior to hands on scanning is recommended.
