June is Advanced MSK Month

28th May 2025

In partnership with the Australasian Sonographers Association (ASA), the Society of Diagnostic Medical Sonography (SDMS), and Sonography Canada, we are pleased to offer a range of free access educational and learning resources. 

BMUS is working in partnership throughout June to provide a selection of educational resources focusing on Advanced Musculoskeletal Ultrasound. 

We have come together with the ASA, SDMS and Sonography Canada to provide a range of resources free of charge to ultrasound communities around the world. They include Conference recordings, Journal Articles, Webinars, Top tips and YouTube videos all in one place. 

These resources will be available until 30th June 2024.
