Joint / Extremity / Non-Spinal Injection Course

Comprehensive joint and extremity injection training for clinicians

Empire Virtual Training

About this Conference

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 online on March 20, 2027 at the live online classroom, allowing clinicians to apply concepts in a realistic setting.

The day online 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which professional licenses are appropriate for this workshop?
The course is designed for clinicians who are authorized by their licensing board to perform joint and extremity injections. This typically includes physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other health professionals with procedural privileges. Participants should verify that their current scope of practice includes these procedures before registering.
What does the hands-on portion of the day involve?
During the hands-on segment, attendees work at supervised stations using ultrasound or fluoroscopic equipment to perform simulated injections on task trainers or cadaveric specimens. Faculty provide real-time guidance on needle entry, trajectory, and medication delivery. The practice emphasizes sterile technique, accurate landmark identification, and patient safety.
What prior knowledge or experience is recommended before attending?
Participants should have a basic understanding of musculoskeletal anatomy and be familiar with sterile procedural techniques. Experience with general injection methods or prior exposure to imaging for procedures is helpful but not required. The curriculum builds from foundational concepts to advanced image-guided techniques.
Which imaging modalities will be demonstrated?
The workshop covers both ultrasound and fluoroscopic guidance for joint and extremity injections. Instructors demonstrate probe positioning, image optimization, and needle visualization for each modality. Comparative discussion highlights the advantages and limitations of each technique in clinical practice.
How is patient safety addressed during the training?
Patient safety is a core focus throughout the course. Sessions include review of contraindications, infection control, and complication management. Hands-on practice reinforces proper aseptic technique, correct needle depth, and real-time monitoring of patient response. Faculty emphasize risk mitigation strategies and post-procedure follow‑up protocols.
