The main questions it aims to answer are:
Read more
Does the workshop enhance participants' accuracy and confidence in performing ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections? How do participants rate the workshop's effectiveness in improving their clinical skills?
Participants will:
Attend a structured cadaveric workshop on ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections.
Perform hands-on procedures under expert supervision. Complete pre- and post-workshop assessments to measure skill improvement and confidence levels.
Read the detailed description
Ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections have become an essential skill in physical medicine and rehabilitation, orthopedic practice, and pain management. Despite their increasing use, mastering these techniques requires both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Cadaveric training workshops provide a unique opportunity for physicians to refine their procedural skills in a controlled environment that closely mimics real-world clinical scenarios.
This study evaluates the effectiveness of a cadaveric musculoskeletal system ultrasound-guided injection workshop in enhancing the technical proficiency, confidence, and clinical readiness of physicians. By integrating structured didactic sessions with hands-on practice on cadaveric specimens, the workshop aims to bridge the gap between theoretical learning and clinical application.
Participants will undergo a comprehensive learning experience, beginning with instructional lectures covering the principles of ultrasound guidance, needle visualization techniques, and common musculoskeletal injection sites. Following this, they will engage in supervised hands-on practice on cadaveric specimens, allowing them to refine their accuracy in needle placement, optimize probe handling, and gain a deeper understanding of anatomical structures.
To assess the workshop's effectiveness, physicians will complete pre- and post-training evaluations, including objective assessments of their procedural accuracy and subjective self-reports on confidence levels. The study will analyze improvements in needle placement precision, injection efficiency, and participants' perceived ability to translate these skills into clinical practice.
By providing an immersive and interactive training experience, this study seeks to determine whether cadaveric workshops serve as a valuable tool in advancing physicians' competency in ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections. Findings from this research may contribute to the development of more structured training programs, ultimately improving patient outcomes in musculoskeletal care.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Pre-Workshop Evaluation Survey
A pre-workshop survey filled out by participants prior to the lectures, which contained question items about their age, sex, academic and professional experience in medicine and physiatry, prior exposure to MSK USG and injections, current access to ultrasound equipment, prior attendance at other ultrasound training programs, frequency of ultrasound-guided injections done in a week, and self-confidence regarding hip, knee and ankle ultrasound-guided injections using a 5-point Likert scale, with 0 denoting the least confidence and 4 denoting the highest.
Measured: Once at the beginning of the study, just before the workshop
Post-Workshop Evaluation Survey
A post-workshop survey filled out by participants after the workshop to assess their self-confidence in MSK ultrasound-guided injections regarding the three joints and the perceived value of the course. In addition, the usefulness of the course and contentment of participants about the materials used and quality of context were also measured using a 5-point Likert scale, where 0 indicated the least content and 4 the most content. At last, participants were invited to suggest regions, subjects and techniques they would like to have covered in upcoming ultrasonography seminars.
Measured: Once, immediately after the workshop
