Joint / Extremity / Non-Spinal Injection Course

The Joint / Extremity / Non-Spinal Injection Course provides an in-depth review of anatomy, needle selection, and injection techniques for shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, and small joint procedures. Participants examine ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance, learning how to identify landmarks and avoid neurovascular structures. The curriculum emphasizes evidence-based dosing, aseptic preparation, and post-procedure monitoring. The session also reviews contraindications and patient selection criteria to ensure appropriate case identification. The training is delivered in Atlanta on April 17, 2027 at the host venue in Atlanta, allowing clinicians to apply concepts in a realistic setting.

The day in Atlanta begins with a concise lecture series that outlines pharmacology, imaging fundamentals, and complication management. Following the didactic portion, faculty demonstrate live injections on models while describing hand-positioning and needle trajectory. Clinicians then rotate through supervised stations where they perform image-guided injections under real-time feedback. Participants receive individualized feedback on needle depth and angle to promote consistent technique. Case discussions are interspersed to illustrate decision-making for common musculoskeletal complaints. The schedule balances theory with practical application, ensuring participants leave with a clear procedural workflow.

This workshop is intended for physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other licensed clinicians who regularly manage musculoskeletal pain and have appropriate authority to perform injections. It benefits those seeking to refine technique, adopt imaging guidance, or expand their procedural repertoire. Attendees should be comfortable with basic sterile technique and have foundational knowledge of musculoskeletal anatomy. The program supports clinicians aiming to improve patient outcomes through precise, safe injection practices. Graduates leave with reference materials and a checklist to integrate the skills into daily practice.
