Most courses charge > $2000 USD, just to make you patiently wait your turn (or fight) to get access to a machine that is "shared" between 4 or 5 people.
NOT OUR COURSES!
Our courses have 1 machine for every 2 people.

Many courses force you to watch a guru EXPLAIN ultrasound scanning with slides.
Then you barely get to practice the skills before it's time for more slides.
NOT OUR COURSES!
Our courses are 70% scanning practice.

My Sports Medicine fellowship at the University of Notre Dame provided amazing experiences to learn both diagnostic MSK ultrasound and guided interventions.
I believe there is a need for young physicians to have a comprehensive Continuing Education program to learn the fundamentals.
I believe our 100, 200 and 300 Level Courses can help fill that need. MSK ultrasound is the future of our specialty. I truly believe we can deliver a better service to our patients if we can dedicate ourselves to mastering this powerful skill.

After spending more than 8 years flying all over the USA and Mexico for prolotherapy, PRP and Stem Cell courses, I was still handcuffed by my lack of US skills.
I finally found an excellent Ultrasound training program in the UK. I spent the
summer of 2017 flying to London seven times for the program but it was worth every penny!
By using the formula I learned overseas, you can radically accelerate your learning... but it takes desire, and dedication.

Over the course of my 7 years in independent practice, I had begun to realize that there were, and still are, significant gaps in the care we as orthopaedic surgeons provide to patients with non-operative MSK problems. With this in mind, and having taken on the role of physician lead for a major change project to improve access to orthopaedic care in Northern BC, I began exploring options to increase our capacity to help patients with non-operative MSK problems.
In the fall of 2020, I did my first 2 courses with SMUC and very quickly realized the potential for US injections to help bridge the gap in care for our patients with non-operative MSK problems.
Within weeks of completing the course, I had bought an US machine, and began expanding my non-operative orthopaedic practice. Now looking to share this incredible tool with more orthopaedic surgeons, I am excited to be a part of the SMUC team in developing and delivering a new course specifically tailored to the needs of orthopaedic surgeons and our patients!
