Description
The MSK fellowship that TMC academy offers includes an overview of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hands and fingers in three consecutive 4-hour sessions in the late afternoon and early evening. There is a second short online fellowship covering the lower extremity.
Every day two lectures of approximately one hour will supply you with knowledge that you consecutively apply during the case reading session with group case discussion. In the communal case reading session we will use a reporting template to help you navigate and write adequate reports.
In this fellowship with a limited number of 15 radiologists you will enhance and strengthen your own and each other’s knowledge in structured musculoskeletal MRI reading. With the use of Zoom platform, interactivity will be established and the use of a webcam is encouraged to enhance the creation of a virtual reading room. After the reading session together you keep access to the cases.
If this online short fellowship has been successful it has provided you with knowledge that can help you address your normal clinical challenges, as well as future pursuits. At the end of the program you will be able to identify and report on common Musculoskeletal MRI and pathology in daily practice without difficulty.

Technical requirements
The training platform runs entirely in the browser but the online PACS places a considerable load on the hardware and internet connection when viewing and loading cases.
