Learning Objectives:

• Discuss upper extremity joint injection indications and potential complications
• Identify relevant anatomy of the shoulder and elbow, including the positioning and procedural landmarks
• Describe the relevant anatomy of the joint space and relate this to needle entry
• Demonstrate the basic approach and technique for evaluation and injection of upper extremity joints
• Describe the indications for using ultrasound for various upper extremity joints

Format: Didactic session (will begin the day to present the clinical anatomy and evidence-based approaches to the procedures), small group experiential sessions (participants will observe and identify relevant anatomy via pro-sections and virtual reality, demonstrate competency for these procedures on a surgical reality donors prepared through the modified Thiel embalming method), and simulation based training.
