WS7.2. Guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training

‘Without standards, there can be no improvement’ This quote by Taiichi Ohno applies to every domain including medical practice and summarizes why are we going to talk about the guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training. Currently, neuromuscular ultrasound has become a fundamental part of the diagnostic workup of neuromuscular disorders. Thus, there is a growing interest among physicians to acquire the skill. However, there is no consensus on what constitutes adequate training or the curriculum of different neuromuscular ultrasound training levels. In this lecture, Dr. Tawfik is going to talk about why do need guidelines for neuromuscular ultrasound training, how did a group of experts develop the guidelines, the general guidelines as well as the learning objectives & the curriculum of different levels of neuromuscular ultrasound training. Dr. Tawfik will end up the lecture by highlighting how the audience can benefit from the guidelines and apply them as a neuromuscular ultrasound tutor/or as a learner.
