	Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injection Training Course Ultrasound-Guided Joint Injection Training Course, presented by the UC San Diego School of Medicine, is a 1-day hands-on course, to provide training in ultrasound-guided intraarticular needle placement, to perform joint injections and aspirations. Many practices caring for hemophilia patients have introduced musculoskeletal ultrasound for non-invasive management of painful hemophilic joints. Adding training to perform needle placement into joints using ultrasound guidance will greatly enhance providers? ability to manage joint pains in the hemophilia population.
