Real clinical ultrasound images

Reverse ultrasound animations

NYSORA anatomical illustrations

Boutique Learning
Experience

Unlike large conference courses, NYSORA workshops are designed as boutique learning environments.

Small group interaction

Direct faculty access

Intensive scanning practice

Real clinical discussion

NYSORA Academy
Learning Spaces

Many workshops take place in custom-built NYSORA Academy facilities designed specifically for regional anesthesia training.

Simulator-based needling stations

Dedicated ultrasound scanning stations

Permanent educational setups

Large visualization screens

Training That Goes Beyond the Workshop

Learning Begins Before the Workshop and Continues After

A continuous, integrated learning journey built around your clinical growth.

01

Structured Learning

Participants prepare through NYSORA360 e-learning modules before attending the workshop, ensuring that in-person training focuses on clinical decision-making and skill execution rather than basic theory.

Modules include:

Further CME credits available through two online CME courses.

Visit NYSORA360
02

Workshop

Participants translate theory into clinical skill through live demonstrations and guided practice.

Participants experience:

  • Live ultrasound demonstrations
  • Picture-in-picture technique visualization
  • Live model scanning
  • Simulator needling stations
  • 3D virtual cadaver anatomy exploration

Faculty demonstrate NYSORA’s 1–2–3 block strategy:

  • Probe positioning
  • Landmark identification
  • Injection strategy

Participants leave with clear, techniques for clinical practice.

03

Post-Learning

Learning continues beyond the workshop through ongoing access to NYSORA educational resources and the global clinician network.

Participants retain access to:

  • NYSORA360 e-learning platform to revisit modules, anatomy, and techniques anytime
  • NYSORA Global Community to discuss cases with clinicians and faculty worldwide

In the community, participants can:

  • Ask clinical questions
  • Share cases and complications
  • Learn from international experts

The workshop becomes the beginning of an ongoing learning journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our workshop programs.

NYSORA Workshops are small-group, hands-on training programs focused on ultrasound-guided techniques in regional anesthesia, pain procedures, and POCUS. This section also includes Boot Camps, which are immersive clinical observation experiences in a real hospital setting.

Workshops combine brief teaching with extensive hands-on practice using ultrasound machines, live models, and simulators.

Boot Camps are hospital-based clinical immersions where participants observe real-world ultrasound-guided procedures and decision-making during routine patient care.

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

Depending on the course, topics may include:

  • 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 intentionally kept small to maximize ultrasound time and instructor interaction.

Boot Camps are extremely limited-capacity to maintain a close faculty-to-participant ratio in the clinical environment.

Exact group size is shown on each event page.

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 or boot camp page.

No formal prerequisites are required for most workshops. Courses 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:

  • Access to the full educational program
  • Use of ultrasound equipment, models, and training materials (for workshops)
  • Course resources and supporting materials
  • Lunch and breaks (when specified)
  • In some cases, access to digital learning tools such as NYSORA 360 or a relevant manual/app subscription

Travel and accommodation are generally not included. Where available, event pages provide guidance on nearby hotels and transportation.

You typically do not need to bring special equipment—ultrasound machines and training materials are provided.

Bring comfortable attire, a notebook, and optionally a tablet or laptop for accessing digital resources.

Boot Camp–specific instructions (such as hospital dress code) are provided after registration.

Cancellations must be submitted in writing to info@nysora.com.

  • More than 30 days before the event: 50% refund
  • Within 30 days of the event: no refund

Rescheduling may be possible depending on availability but is not guaranteed. Always review the specific event page for the most accurate policy.
