Requirements for receiving a EULAR certificate:
- Participants should have attended a EULAR basic MSUS course or a EULAR scientifically-endorsed basic MSUS course.
- Prior to acceptance to the course, applicants should send to the a total of 6 normal examinations of each joint region in one Power Point file (i.e. shoulder, elbow, wrist & hand, hip, knee, ankle & foot), according to the EULAR Guidelines for Musculoskeletal Ultrasound in Rheumatology (Ref. Backhaus M, et al. Ann Rheum Dis 2001) to the course organizers via email: usgantalya@gmail.com .
- Images should be presented in a power point file. Important: Each slide should include: – One imaged structure each in longitudinal and transverse plane – A legend with the anatomic area, imaged structure and scanning planes – Parameters of the ultrasound machine – Identity of the person scanned should be removed.
- The faculty members need to provide assessment and feedback. Applicants might need to be asked to repeat the ultrasound examinations and submit the images again for assessment by the faculty.
- Upon approval of the assessment, the applicant needs to be asked to register for the course.
- Participants should bring a total of 60 normal ultrasound examinations (each in a power point presentation) on a USB stick to the course. The faculty reserves the right to randomly request and audit the full set of ultrasound examinations from each participant.
- It is highly recommended to participate in the EULAR Online Introductory Ultrasound Course ( http://www.eular-us-onlinecourse.org/ ) before attending this EULAR-endorsed Intermediate Ultrasound Course. The online course is required for those aiming at achieving Level I EULAR competency in Musculoskeletal Ultrasound.
