These diagnostic ultrasound courses were designed for clinicians to gain confidence in assessing, diagnosing and treating rock climbing finger injuries with diagnostic ultrasound. There are two levels of courses: Level 1 and Level 2. See below for each course and their descriptions.

  • Level 1: This introductory course is for clinicians looking to learn how to assess, diagnose and treat climbing finger injuries with diagnostic ultrasound. You will access and view 160 minutes of pre-recorded lectures, read associated articles, and problem solve climbing patient cases with ultrasound assessments. At the conclusion of the course, you will have a greater understanding of how to use ultrasound to diagnose climber finger injuries.
  • Level 2: You will again access to the level 1 online course that includes 3 hours of pre-recorded lectures, associated articles, and learning assessments. You will then meet for a 4 hour live session to problem solve rock climbing patient cases with realtime ultrasound demonstrations and will discuss your patient images with an certified ultrasound expert. It is recommended that you have access to an ultrasound unit before taking this course.
