Our comprehensive MSK ultrasound curriculum is designed to provide extensive hands-on scanning time. This includes direct instruction from a MSK ultrasound faculty expert every Thursday morning for the entire fellowship year. Furthermore, each fellow receives a Butterfly-iQ handheld ultrasound device to increase scanning time at home, on the sidelines, and in the training rooms. 

Fellows are expected to demonstrate full competency in diagnostic ultrasound through our structured longitudinal curriculum and OSCE testing. In addition, fellows participate regularly in our weekly interventional ultrasound procedure clinic. They will become experts in interventional ultrasound techniques which include joint injections, soft tissue injections, orthobiologic / cellular therapy, percutaneous tenotomy, nerve hydrodissection / blocks, barbotage and lavage, and high volume capsular distensions. Moreover, we organize an interventional ultrasound training cadaver lab twice a year.
