PTs Who Use Ultrasound Can Get New Certification
The Point-of-Care Ultrasound (POCUS) Certification Academy announces the availability of its new POCUS Musculoskeletal (MSK) Certification for healthcare professionals utilizing ultrasound in physical therapy, physiatry, athletic training, sports medicine, and orthopedics, among others.
The POCUS MSK certification allows a new measure of proficiency, raising the standard of musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging by testing on best practices for practical application.
MSK ultrasounds are powerful screening tools used to examine muscles, joints, ligaments, tendons and soft tissues of the body and can help medical professionals determine the nature of an injury and inform treatment. Through independent, third-party certification, MSK providers will be able to provide proof of their knowledge, skills, and abilities in delivering ultrasound at the point-of-care, offering new opportunities to grow their career, increase their visibility and credibility in the field, and ultimately enhance patient safety, a media release from Intelos explains.
