For the third year in a row, IBSA Italy is promoting training for young physiatrists by supporting the prestigious initiative sponsored by SIMFER (The Italian Society of Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine) which involves 12 specialisation schools in various Italian universities and more than 200 up-and-coming talents enrolled in the final years of physiatric studies.
It is a now customary appointment and a successful initiative that has been repeated since 2021 and that from this edition onwards will have a new name: it will no longer be known as Masterclass, but rather Injection Road School to better emphasise and define the touring nature of the theoretical-practical educational pathway that aspires to introduce young doctors from all over Italy to intra-articular infiltrative treatment with hyaluronic acid in shoulder and knee pathologies with and without the use of ultrasound guidance. This is a method which is increasingly present in outpatient interventional rehabilitation medicine.
Joint infiltration must be performed by expert hands, and the course allows participants to acquire the most advanced techniques through a practical exercise session using shoulder and knee dummies and 3 ultrasound stations and a dedicated tutor, plus a theoretical and preparatory part to be used online by learners via online instructional videos.
