About the Workshop
This intensive preconference workshop puts you in a small group, hands-on environment where you rotate through carefully structured stations built to sharpen your ultrasound-guided technique and orthobiologic knowledge, from harvesting to injection. The emphasis throughout is on image optimization, procedural accuracy, and real-world applicability across both regenerative medicine and the full breadth of ultrasound-guided procedural anatomy.
Regenerative Medicine Course
Each 40-minute station is led by expert faculty with emphasis on ultrasound-guided harvesting technique, patient selection, injection strategy, and complication avoidance.
Station 1
BMAC40 minutes
Station 2
mFAT40 minutes
Station 3
PRP40 minutes
Ultrasound Course
Rotating small groups. High-yield anatomy and procedural targeting, with emphasis on procedural accuracy and image optimization from stellate ganglion to caudal epidural space.

Learning Objectives
Differentiate the biologic properties, cellular composition, and mechanisms of action of BMAC, mFAT, and PRP, and apply appropriate patient selection criteria based on pathology and disease stage.
Perform ultrasound-guided harvesting techniques for bone marrow aspiration and adipose tissue procurement with attention to anatomic landmarks, probe positioning, sterility, and complication avoidance.
Demonstrate advanced ultrasound-guided injection techniques for intra-articular, peri-tendinous, ligamentous, and spine-related regenerative procedures, with strategies to optimize biologic delivery.
Develop evidence-based treatment algorithms incorporating orthobiologics into MSK care pathways, including documentation standards, coding considerations, and management of refractory conditions.
Recognize contraindications, regulatory considerations, and risk mitigation strategies, including patient counseling, informed consent, and post-procedural expectation management.
Master needle visualization (in-plane vs. out-of-plane), machine optimization (TGC, gain, frequency, focal zones), and high-yield procedural targeting across major joint and nerve anatomy.
