The Medical University of South Carolina (MUSC) Division of Rheumatology & Immunology is making strides in advancing rheumatology education by integrating point-of-care ultrasound training into its core fellowship curriculum.
In recent years, ultrasound has emerged as a powerful diagnostic tool within the field of rheumatology. While it has long been employed successfully across various medical specialties, its adoption by rheumatologists is relatively new.
Led by rheumatology faculty member Jen Schmidt, M.D., and former rheumatology fellow Sean Carter, M.D., the new ultrasound curriculum offers a comprehensive monthly lecture series and immersive hands-on practice for the fellows. This curriculum will serve as a solid foundation for fellows interested in expanding their expertise through specialized musculoskeletal (MSK) ultrasound training in the future.
