Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Imaging PgCert
University of Essex
Key Course Facts
Course Description
Please note, the course duration is between 1 and 6 years depending on the pathway chosen.
We understand that you may not have the time to do a full-time degree, so our CPD learning pathway allows you to study flexibly, in the way that best suits you. The structure, mode of delivery and level of support allow you to progress towards a qualification at postgraduate certificate, postgraduate diploma or Masters level.
This pathway supports clinicians from a range of professional backgrounds to access musculoskeletal ultrasound imaging. Students engage with the technical considerations that underpin this imaging modality prior to musculoskeletal scanning protocols. This face to face teaching occurs at weekends at the Southend campus. Students need a mentor to complete the clinical learning components of the PGCert. The pathway includes optional modules covering ultrasound guided injections or service evaluation.
