Musculoskeletal Ultrasound work-based learning

Our Musculoskeletal Ultrasound courses teach the skills needed by professionals looking to advance their careers.

The Musculoskeletal Ultrasound PgCert, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Foot and Ankle PgCert, Ultrasound for Musculoskeletal Practice PgCert, and the ultrasound guided injections module (PH5646) have aspects of work-based learning. This imperative aspect of learning is required to cement the skills you'll learn within the classroom and then apply to a clinical population within your clinical environment. This aspect of training is organised by students and overseen by Brunel. This allows this experience to be reflective of individual students' clinical environments and flexible to their learning needs. 

In module two of Musculoskeletal Ultrasound PgCert, Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Foot and Ankle PgCert, Ultrasound for Musculoskeletal Practice PgCert, you'll need to complete and log 250 scans (100 directly supervised, 150 mentored to a level commensurate with your training).
