Call for Participants: Prospective Cohort Study on the Impact of Diagnostic Ultrasound

The  NMSKUS SIG is initiating a prospective cohort study to investigate the impact of diagnostic ultrasound when used as an extension of the clinical examination.  We are currently seeking interested clinicians to participate in this important research effort.  

Eligibility Criteria:
To participate, clinicians must:

  • Be actively using diagnostic ultrasound in clinical practice as part of their physical examination process.
  • Hold a valid CITI certificate demonstrating completion of training in Human Subjects Research and Research Ethics.
  • Be willing to collaborate with the  NMSKUS SIG on standardized data collection throughout the study period.

This is a valuable opportunity to contribute to evidence-based practice and help shape the future of diagnostic ultrasound in physical therapy.

If you are interested in joining this collaborative research initiative reach out to Heather Roberts at Heather.Roberts@marist.edu.

DEADLINE:  Reply by May 31st, 2025

We look forward to your participation and support in advancing the clinical application of musculoskeletal ultrasound.
