Why Attend

From Orthobiologic Evidence to Clinical Application

Orthobiologics is evolving rapidly - but translating the science into safe, effective clinical practice requires more than theoretical knowledge.

This focused 1.5-day workshop combines evidence-based clinical sessions with hands-on ultrasound training. Explore PRP, BMAC, and emerging biologic injectables for the spine, joints, tendons, muscles, and peripheral nerves, while developing the clinical reasoning and procedural skills needed to use them responsibly.

Learn how to evaluate the evidence, select appropriate patients, plan treatment, optimize ultrasound imaging, and apply intervention-specific approaches under the guidance of experienced faculty.

Secure Your Place

Evidence Without the Hype

Develop a clear understanding of the evidence, limitations, controversies, and appropriate clinical applications of PRP, BMAC, and emerging biologic therapies.

Smarter Patient Selection

Identify which patients are most likely to benefit and select treatment strategies based on pathology, current evidence, clinical goals, and realistic outcome expectations.

Hands-On Ultrasound Training

Practice ultrasound imaging and intervention-specific approaches for the spine, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and foot in focused small-group stations.

Practical Treatment Strategies

Explore protocols, dosing considerations, treatment algorithms, outcome assessment, and return-to-play principles that can inform everyday clinical practice.

Direct Faculty Interaction

Participate in case-based discussions, extensive Q&A sessions, live demonstrations, and hands-on training with direct guidance and feedback from expert faculty.

Program Overview

1.5 Intensive Days of Science, Clinical Strategy and Hands-On Practice

The program begins with a full day of focused scientific and clinical sessions covering the biological rationale, current evidence, patient selection, procedural considerations, and clinical outcomes associated with orthobiologic therapies.

The second day translates this knowledge into practice through rotating, small-group ultrasound stations. Participants will review relevant anatomy, imaging strategies, procedural landmarks, and ultrasound-guided approaches for the spine and major musculoskeletal regions.

information

An application has been made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME accreditation of this event.

FAQ CME

What is a CME activity? A Continuing Medical Education(CME) activity serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession.

Why do physicians need continuing medical education (CME) credit? Physicians use CME credit to demonstrate that they have participated in educational activities and obtained CME credit to document meeting the requirements of state medical boards, medical specialty societies, specialty boards, hospital medical staffs, the Joint Commission, insurance groups, and others.

Who accredits the Course? Accreditation by the EACCME means that the CME/CPD activity provided is of high scientific value, is free of commercial bias and promotes active adult learning. This is of paramount importance to doctors who need to report to their National Accreditation Authority on their CME/CPD activity over a certain period of time, and this even more now that many national systems are (becoming) mandatory and not voluntary. By attending an EACCME accredited event, they will be able to obtain European CME credits (ECMEC) which are recognised not only in a majority of European countries (with which the EACCME has signed agreements), but also in the USA and Canada. By handing in their EACCME certificate to their National Accreditation Authority, their credits will automatically be recognised and converted into national credits.

What documentation does a physician receive for participating in a certified CME activity provided by an accredited CME provider? A CME certificate will be issued and can be used to prove attendance.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Learning Objectives

What Will I Learn?

  • Evaluate patients with musculoskeletal and spine conditions and determine when PRP, BMAC, or other biologic therapies may provide meaningful clinical benefit.
  • Interpret current research and compare the indications, advantages, limitations, and outcomes of different orthobiologic treatment options.
  • Improve your ability to recognize relevant anatomy, optimize ultrasound images, identify procedural landmarks, and plan precise image-guided interventions.
  • Apply practical treatment pathways, procedural best practices, and outcome-assessment strategies when incorporating biologic therapies into your existing workflow.
  • Develop new approaches to managing joint pain, tendinopathies, muscle injuries, peripheral nerve conditions, and degenerative spine disorders - particularly in patients who have not responded to conventional therapies.

Frequently Asked Questions

NYSORA Workshops are small-group, hands-on training programs focused on ultrasound-guided techniques in regional anesthesia, pain procedures, and POCUS. Workshops are structured training courses that combine brief teaching with extensive hands-on practice using ultrasound machines, live models, and simulators.

NYSORA workshops are designed to be highly practical. While short lectures and demonstrations provide a clinical framework, most of the program is dedicated to hands-on scanning, supervised practice, and real-time feedback from faculty.

Depending on the course, workshops may cover:
  • Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and nerve blocks
  • Ultrasound-guided pain interventions (acute and chronic pain)
  • POCUS scanning and clinical interpretation
  • Needle visualization, sonoanatomy, and standardized step-by-step approaches
Each workshop page lists the exact procedures and learning objectives.

Workshops are led by experienced clinicians and educators with deep expertise in regional anesthesia, pain medicine, and ultrasound-guided techniques. Faculty composition varies by course and is listed on each workshop page.

No formal prerequisites are required for most workshops. Courses are designed to support a range of skill levels—from trainees building fundamentals to experienced clinicians refining ultrasound-guided techniques.

Any course-specific requirements are listed on the event page.

Inclusions vary by event, but typically include:
