IOF is providing a new and improved unique opportunity to gain a full intermediate-level training experience in just two full days! New to the IOF curriculum is a technology called the “NeedleTrainer” which allows attendees to validate their skills on a live patient-model more efficiently than its historic “cadaver only” training labs. This allows attendees to cover more content more quickly and leave the course with the same gold-standard education. The technology, combined with an improved 1:5 instructor to attendee ratio, will create the most comprehensive learning environment available. This 2-day intensive course is designed for physicians who have a basic understanding of orthobiologics, ultrasound and fluoroscopy, and are able to identify and locate structures under image guidance. This course is intended to advance participant's injection techniques for the shoulder, hip & knee, elbow, wrist, hand, ankle and foot – and for those who want to progress their knowledge and skills utilizing ultrasound and fluoroscopy machines for orthobiologic injection methods.
You will also receive procedure-specific instructional videos that you can access for 30 days after the course. IOF members can access the videos for the lifetime of their membership, allowing you to review the instructional videos prior to treating a patient.
