The online msk radiology fellowship provides basic to advanced knowledge and will give participants an overview of the spectrum of presentations seen with sports injuries. Emphasis will be placed on the multi-factorial approach to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Shoulder, elbow, wrist & hand, selected upper extremity muscle injuries and post-traumatic nephropathy cases will be covered.
Each module starts with a lecture followed by the challenge of practicing on real anonymized illustrative cases from the TMC Academy teaching file and personal file of Dr. Tirman and then finished with a group discussion of the cases. View the schedule and topics - full agenda here.
Radiologists who would like to become more confident with the interpretation of imaging of Sports Injuries will find this fellowship useful.
TMC Academy fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. Participants are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone in order to recreate the face-to-face experience.
In this small group environment among your peers, you are free to ask questions, make mistakes, and learn together with the support of the radiologist mentor. Online sessions are recorded so that participants can review on their own time following the training.
