Introduction to EMG, Nerve Conduction Studies, and Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging for Clinical Diagnosis and Patient Management

This 2-day introductory course is designed for Physical Therapists, Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Podiatrists, and other healthcare professionals seeking foundational knowledge and practical exposure to neurodiagnostic testing, including nerve conduction studies (NCS), electromyography (EMG), and musculoskeletal ultrasound.

Participants will gain a solid understanding of neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, and the clinical application of electrodiagnostic testing and musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging through focused instruction, live demonstrations, and hands-on laboratory experience. Special emphasis is placed on the interpretation of diagnostic findings and on patient management based on those findings, including how electrodiagnostic and ultrasound data can guide clinical reasoning, differential diagnosis, referral decisions, prognosis, and treatment strategy.

Through case-based discussions and practical training, this course helps clinicians understand not only how EMG, nerve conduction studies, and musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging are performed, but more importantly, how the results can be translated into meaningful patient care decisions. The program also demonstrates how these integrated diagnostic tools can strengthen the role of healthcare professionals practicing in advanced and primary care-oriented settings by supporting evidence-based decision-making, improving diagnostic precision, and contributing to more comprehensive patient management.

Upon completion, participants will receive the “Certificate of Completion in Foundational Neurodiagnostics.”
