The European Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Study Group (EURO-MUSCULUS) is a scientific European group (mainly composed by Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine specialists) that aims the promotion, education and research in MSK ultrasound field. For the last ten years, EURO-MUSCULUS/USPRM organizes a scientific event in a European city every year, open to physicians of different specialties, with interest in MSK ultrasound. It is a recognized and reputed ultrasound course around Europe and the world.
EURO-MUSCULUS X (10th anniversary), will be held in Lisbon, 5-8 December 2019. The local organizer of this event is the Portuguese Society of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation (SPMFR), also providing the scientific support. The main practice and lectures will be held at Sana Malhoa Hotel in Central Lisbon. The enthusiasm and massive participation of the Portuguese physicians leaded to the choice of Portugal as a host country for this year special event.
EURO-MUSCULUS X course, like the previous editions, will have participants and faculty from several countries, mainly European, but also from other world regions. We estimate a total of 160 participants including 132 trainees to attend our course (96 for basic and 36 for the Advanced course) plus the faculty and the scientific advisory board members.
There will be the Basic and Advanced course. There are still some Basic course registrations left.
