This 2-day hands-on course was developed to provide training in musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSKUS) for evaluation of hemophilic joint disease, but also other arthritic conditions and musculoskeletal abnormalities and syndromes. The main objective of the course is to enable physicians and other health care providers to use MSKUS as a point-of-care imaging tool for diagnosis and treatment of joint pain. In addition, the course has specific elements geared towards hemophilic joint disease: recognition of joint bleeding, synovial hypertrophy and synovitis, cartilage degradation, osteochondral lesions and other structural joint abnormalities. The course also includes a teaching module pertaining to the Joint Tissue Activity and Damage Exam (JADE), a validated ultrasound imaging protocol for hemophilic joints.

Participants are encouraged to complete web modules 1, 2, 4, and 5 cme.ucsd.edu/httc/musksweb.html prior to attending the activity (a total of 2 hours of web-based instructions).

This symposium will provide a comprehensive update on the latest developments in the fast-growing field of orthopedic sports medicine. This educational activity will focus on improving athletic performance, along with recovery and prevention of future injuries. Clinical conditions and injuries of the shoulder, elbow, hand, knee, and foot and ankle will be presented. In addition, a hands-on workshop has been designed to provide orthopedic surgeons, fellows and residents the opportunity to enhance their skills in arthroscopy and open surgery.

Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injection and Aspiration for Arthritic Conditions and Hemophilia will provide training in ultrasound-guided intra-articular needle placement, to perform non-invasive management of painful joints through intra-articular corticosteroid injections, aspirations of joint fluid/blood in patients with orthopedic conditions, sports injuries or hemophilia. In-plane and out-of plane needle advancement will be demonstrated on pig cadaver joints with hands-on practice on phantom or similar tissue. Targeted joints include ankle, elbow, knee, shoulder, hip, SI-joints, lumbar facet joints.

Registration will be limited to 50 participants to facilitate group discussions.

This meeting is a unique opportunity for pediatric rheumatology researchers and stakeholders to work on collaborative research projects face-to-face while networking with colleagues from around the world.

Participants from a wide range of disciplines will form interactive learning teams to promote interprofessional education. Teams will share ideas and different perspectives for effective assessment and treatment of commonly seen pain management challenges. An interdisciplinary faculty will provide education on evidence-based pain management of case scenarios across the health care spectrum. The conference will integrate lectures, experiential exercises and case-based learning to create a rich educational experience.

Topics:

-Importance of Team-based Care
-Providing Evidence-based Pain Treatment Across Multiple Health System Settings
-Including the Emergency Department, Primary Care, and More
-Safe and Effective Opioid Prescribing Practices
-Supporting Patients with Substance Use Disorder
-Everyday Bias in Health Care: The impact on Effective Pain Management
-Integrative Medicine and Utilizing Non-Pharmacological Approaches in Pain Management

Designed for the infectious diseases practitioner, this is Mayo Clinic's first course dedicated entirely to the challenges of managing orthopedic infections. The course will feature highly interactive, case-based modules delivered by subject matter experts addressing diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Participants will leave with up-to-date, practical information that can be applied immediately to their clinical practice.
