Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to assess whether a cadaveric ultrasound-guided injection workshop improves procedural skills and confidence among participant physicians. It will also evaluate participants' satisfaction and perceived clinical applicability. The main questions it aims to answer are: Does the workshop enhance participants' accuracy and confidence in performing ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections? How do participants rate the workshop's effectiveness in improving their clinical skills? Participants will: Attend a structured cadaveric workshop on ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections. Perform hands-on procedures under expert supervision. Complete pre- and post-workshop assessments to measure skill improvement and confidence levels.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• Pre-Workshop Evaluation Survey

  A pre-workshop survey filled out by participants prior to the lectures, which contained question items about their age, sex, academic and professional experience in medicine and physiatry, prior exposure to MSK USG and injections, current access to ultrasound equipment, prior attendance at other ultrasound training programs, frequency of ultrasound-guided injections done in a week, and self-confidence regarding hip, knee and ankle ultrasound-guided injections using a 5-point Likert scale, with 0 denoting the least confidence and 4 denoting the highest.

  Once at the beginning of the study, just before the workshop

• Post-Workshop Evaluation Survey

  A post-workshop survey filled out by participants after the workshop to assess their self-confidence in MSK ultrasound-guided injections regarding the three joints and the perceived value of the course. In addition, the usefulness of the course and contentment of participants about the materials used and quality of context were also measured using a 5-point Likert scale, where 0 indicated the least content and 4 the most content. At last, participants were invited to suggest regions, subjects and techniques they would like to have covered in upcoming ultrasonography seminars.

  Once, immediately after the workshop

Other: Cadaveric Workshop on Ultrasound-guided Injections

Interventions

Cadaveric Workshop on Ultrasound-guided Injections OTHER

Participant physicians will attend a structured cadaveric workshop on ultrasound-guided musculoskeletal injections. Participants will perform hands-on procedures under expert supervision on lower extremity joints listed as hip, knee and ankle. For the assessment participants will be asked to complete pre- and post-workshop assessments to measure skill improvement and confidence levels.
