Description

This Upper Extremity musculoskeletal (MSK) MRI course, taught by highly knowledgeable radiologist Phillip Tirman MD, will include an overview of MRI of the shoulder, elbow, arm and forearm, wrist, and hand with a daily presentation, individual case readings, and with group-based case read-outs.

With years of experience in the field of MSK radiology, Dr. Tirman comes prepared with his own case mix to share with you, containing a large variety of musculoskeletal cases relevant to the topic which participants can also review on their own after the fellowship.

Each day of the fellowship starts with a lecture followed by the challenge of practicing on real anonymized illustrative cases from the personal file of Dr. Tirman and then finished with a group discussion of the cases. Radiologists who would like to become more confident with the interpretation of imaging of MSK MRI 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.
