The NYSORA Learning Experience

A NYSORA workshop is just one part of your learning journey. Every participant gains access to an integrated ecosystem of digital learning, clinical decision support, and continuing education designed to help you keep improving long after the course ends.

01

BEFORE THE WORKSHOP
Build the Foundation

Your learning begins before the workshop and continues long after you leave. Every participant receives complimentary access to the workshop-relevant NYSORA bestselling apps and educational resources to reinforce learning in clinical practice.

Included access (workshop-specific):

This allows you to:

  • Prepare before the workshop
  • Review techniques and protocols anytime
  • Reinforce after-workshop learning in daily practice
  • Access step-by-step clinical guidance
  • Build confidence with every patient

A NYSORA workshop is not a single event—it's the beginning of a continuous learning journey.

02

DURING THE WORKSHOP
Hands-On Clinical Training

Transform ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia concepts into practical clinical skills through expert instruction and immersive hands-on training.

Experience:

  • Live model scanning
  • Faculty-guided hands-on practice
  • Picture-in-picture ultrasound visualization
  • Simulator needling stations
  • 3D virtual cadaver anatomy

Master NYSORA's 1-2-3 approach to:

  • Probe positioning
  • Sonoanatomy and landmark recognition
  • Needle guidance and injection strategy

Leave with greater confidence, sharper scanning skills, and techniques you can apply in your very next case.

03

AFTER THE WORKSHOP
Continue Learning with NYSORA360

In addition to 3 months of access to the relevant NYSORA apps, participants receive continued access to workshop presentations and course materials through NYSORA360.

With NYSORA360, you can:

  • Review workshop presentations and educational resources
  • Revisit key techniques and ultrasound anatomy
  • Reinforce practical skills anytime
  • Continue learning with structured digital content

Your workshop doesn't end when you leave—it becomes part of an integrated learning ecosystem designed to support your clinical practice long after the course.

Register Agenda PDF

New York, USA

2 Days

Course Highlights
  • Extensive Hands-On Ultrasound Training
    The workshop is built around practical skill development, with the majority of the program dedicated to hands-on scanning sessions. Participants practice core POCUS examinations on live models in small groups with expert faculty guidance, ensuring immediate feedback and skill refinement.
  • Core POCUS Applications for Daily Clinical Practice
    Gain practical experience with the most clinically relevant ultrasound exams, including gastric ultrasound, FAST exam, lung ultrasound, airway assessment, DVT evaluation, and focused cardiac imaging.
  • Focused Cardiac Ultrasound and Hemodynamic Assessment
    Develop the ability to obtain and interpret standard cardiac views using the FATE protocol, assess volume status with IVC imaging, and evaluate ventricular function using EF estimation, TAPSE, and MAPSE.
  • Learn–See–Practice Teaching Format
    Each topic begins with a concise lecture, followed by live demonstration and immediate hands-on scanning, reinforcing knowledge and accelerating skill acquisition.
  • Interactive Case Discussions and Clinical Integration
    Case-based sessions and interactive Q&A help participants integrate ultrasound findings into real-world clinical decision-making, improving diagnostic accuracy and bedside confidence.

Leuven, Belgium

2 Days

Course Highlights

The Science Behind OrthobiologicsCut through the hype and gain a clear, evidence-based understanding of PRP, BMAC, and emerging biologic therapies. Learn what works, where the evidence is strongest, and how to apply orthobiologics effectively in clinical practice.Practical Applications for Spine, Joints & Soft TissueDiscover how orthobiologics are being used across spine disorders, osteoarthritis, tendinopathies, muscle injuries, and peripheral nerve conditions. Learn treatment strategies that can expand your options for challenging patients.Evidence-Based Decision MakingCompare PRP, BMAC, hyaluronic acid, combination therapies, and emerging injectables. Gain the confidence to evaluate the literature, interpret outcomes data, and make informed treatment decisions.Ultrasound-Guided Orthobiologics in ActionObserve expert faculty demonstrate ultrasound-guided approaches across the spine and major joints, while learning the imaging strategies, landmarks, and procedural techniques that improve accuracy and safety.Hands-On Ultrasound TrainingTranslate theory into practice through small-group scanning sessions focused on the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, foot, and spine. Refine your ultrasound skills while gaining a deeper understanding of intervention-specific anatomy.Expand Your Treatment ToolboxLeave with a broader range of evidence-based, minimally invasive treatment options for chronic musculoskeletal and spine conditions, helping you deliver more personalized and effective patient care.Interactive Faculty AccessBenefit from extensive Q&A sessions, case discussions, and direct interaction with leading experts in orthobiologics, ensuring you can apply what you learn immediately in your own practice.Immediate Clinical ImpactReturn to practice with greater confidence in patient selection, ultrasound-guided interventions, and biologic treatment strategies—equipping you to improve outcomes and stay at the forefront of regenerative medicine.

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.

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.

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 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.

Cancellations must be submitted in writing to [email protected].

  • 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.
