Musculoskeletal POCUS Diagnostics and Injection Therapeutics

Point-of-Care Ultrasound Lecture/Practice Series

What: Dr. Druschel and Dr. Wade are hosting an in-person ultrasound training course for anyone (medical students, residents, or providers) interested in learning point-of-care ultrasound. This course will give practical skills for patient care provided in primary care, urgent care, and even in hospital settings.

Content – Rapid knobology review, achilles/plantar fascia, elbow (biceps, lateral epicondylitis, olecranon), knee (MCL/LCL/IT band/pes bursa/patellar tendon/baker’s cyst), and shoulder (biceps long head, AC joint, rotator cuff) all on day 1. Day 2 will focus on therapeutic injections in all of the above locations including nerve blocks, joint injections, peritendinous injections and therapeutics such as steroids, PRP (platelet rich plasma), prolotherapy, and hands-on practice.

How: We will offer didactic sessions followed by hands-on training with live models.

Michael Druschel, MD is spearheading this course after his POCUS training across the last 10 years of hands-on practice. He is certified by POCUS.org as a generalist and has been scanning 365+ scans per year for the last 7 years. He is a family medicine physician and has worked with Butterfly Network as an advisor/researcher on the development of the iQ+ and various imaging modes as they roll out new products.

Laura Wade, MD is a practicing family physician and has been working with Dr. Mike Druschel for the past 3 years and is excited to be joining the teaching team as a practicing POCUS physician.

FAQs:

Will this course offer CME credits?

  • Yes! “The AAFP has reviewed POCUS in the Pines, and deemed it acceptable for AAFP credit. The term of approval is from 04/19/2024 to 10/26/2024. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.”
  • “AAFP Prescribed credit is accepted by the American Medical Association as equivalent to AMA PRA Category 1 credit(s)™ toward the AMA Physician’s Recognition Award. When applying for the AMA PRA, Prescribed credit earned must be reported as Prescribed, not as Category 1.”


Will I be able to use this in practice after this course?

  • Yes! You should definitely be able to use ultrasound for IV access, FAST exams, lung exams, etc. You will likely need more practice on shoulder exams. We cannot guarantee competence in ultrasound-guided joint injections for deep/large joints but you should be competent enough to start trialing adding ultrasound to joints you would do without ultrasound until you gain more confidence.


Can I bill for ultrasound in my practice?

  • This depends on the insurances you contract with and the practice location. Dr. Druschel or Dr. Wade can give you some advice as they have experience billing for ultrasound from private practice. Comprehensive advice is not part of this course.


Is ultrasound better or worse than X-ray or CT scans?

  • Often, ultrasound can be superior to X-ray and similar to CT scans in terms of sensitivity or specificity. You’ll have to attend the course to get the details, you may be surprised at how sensitive ultrasound can be!


Is ultrasound dangerous to patients?

  • In general, the answer is no, but how we interpret imaging is where risk factors into the use of ultrasound. During the intro didactic, we will review ultrasound draw-backs, risks, etc.


Will you offer other training courses on ultrasound?

  • Dr. Druschel is exploring the interest for future courses which could cover bedside echo, thyroid, ophthalmic, obstetrics, and other POCUS topics at a later time. We do not currently have plans to offer dates beyond those listed. We are not available for travel to teach at your clinic.


Is there a deposit required upon registration?

  • Yes. We ask for a $50 security deposit charged to your credit card. We can refund this charge if your plans change and you notify us 30 days or more prior to the start of your course date. The $50 goes towards the cost of your course.

BLS Instructor Course

Become an AHA Instructor

Thank you for your interest in becoming an American Heart Association (AHA) Instructor. LBW Training Center takes great pride in our role of developing and mentoring instructors. We have trained hundreds of instructors to confidently and professionally present this incredibly valuable information.

The following is a brief outline of what’s involved in instructor training.  First, anyone interested in becoming an instructor, must hold a current “Provider Level” certification from the AHA (meaning you hold a current BLS, ACLS, and/or PALS certification).  You’ll be asked to present a copy of this certification during your instructor training.

Second, you’ll need to complete the AHA’s “Instructor Essentials” course for each discipline you wish to teach. This is an interactive self study course that focuses on basic teaching principals and methodology.  Next, we will meet with you individually for a Training Center Orientation. We will explain your role and responsibilities as an instructor, our responsibility as your training center, the hierarchy of the AHA and all the administrative components involved in being an instructor.

Finally,  you will join us for one of our classes as an assistant instructor. This will give you an opportunity to ease into the role of an instructor.

Once these requirements have been met the instructor will be able to teach on their own. However, if an instructor chooses, they may assist with as many additional classes as they wish. LBW’s role as the instructor’s Training Center, is one of on going instructor support. We simply wish to give instructors every resource possible so they feel comfortable and confident teaching this material.

Please call (602) 283-0079 to schedule your appointment with our Training Center Coordinator, or email Frank@LBWtrainingcenter.com.

Each instructor course requires the AHA Instructor and Provider Manuals and the AHA Course DVD.  The required AHA online instructor essentials course module is included with your purchase.

Mannequins, videos, student manuals, certification cards and other teaching supplies are additional expenses you may incur.  When you’re ready to begin, give us a call! We’re looking forward to hearing from you.
