Neurophysiology – NeuroMuscular Ultrasound Course

The IICMP has approved funding from the HSE to support the registration fee for Neurophysiologists working in publicly funded hospitals to complete the course.

Funding is available for four registration fees and will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

This online course is designed to support Neurophysiologists in learning and developing skills in performing Neuro-Muscular Ultrasound in common upper and lower limb sites as part of Nerve Conduction Studies. 

Diagnosis of nerve and muscle pathology is an emerging technique that offers valuable insight beyond routine nerve conduction studies and EMG allowing, for example, the location of nerve entrapments to be accurately pinpointed which improves both diagnostic yield and treatment outcomes. 

Learning Outcomes include:

• Understand the basic anatomy and physiology of the human neuromuscular system and how it relates to ultrasound imaging.
• Learn the principles of ultrasound physics and instrumentation as they pertain to musculoskeletal imaging.
• Become proficient in the scanning techniques used in nerve ultrasound, including the proper positioning of the patient and transducer, as well as image optimization.
• Develop the skills necessary to accurately interpret and diagnose common nerve disorders and injuries using ultrasound imaging.
• Gain a comprehensive understanding of the clinical applications of nerve ultrasound. 

This is an online course, with 6 months access to the videos and materials included, physiologists will be able to learn at a pace that suits their work schedule.
