Description
The purpose of this online fellowship is to discuss different UPPER EXTREMITY MSK topics and start practicing immediately by reading selected cases together with the mentor. The upper extremity module discusses the shoulder rotator cuff and instability, elbow, wrist, and hand, together with some tumor cases. The selected cases for reading are from our teaching file and allow the participant to practice with common cases that may appear in your daily worklist.
If this radiology course has been successful, it will have provided you with knowledge that can help you address your normal clinical challenges and future pursuits.
TMC Academy online fellowships are held in a virtual classroom environment on Zoom. You are encouraged to engage in discussions making use of their camera and microphone to recreate the face-to-face experience. Online sessions are recorded so that you can review them on your own time following the training. 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.
