SONOANATOMY

What is sonoanatomy?

Sonoanatomy is an interactive and multidisciplinary course organized by Instituto Poal de Reumatología at the University of Barcelona under the umbrella of Eular and Euroson. It showcases advances in the understanding of sonoanatomy. We focus on personalized small group “hands-on” tutorials and workshops aimed at the level of the participants with:

  • Clinical relevant topics
  • Multidisciplinary and interactive approach
  • Experienced faculty members
  • Personalized training
  • Hands-On Practicality

Break through the sonoanatomical barriers with our world-renowned faculty covering anatomy in a course designed to be highly practical and personalized, allowing doctors to actively practice and hone their ultrasound skills.

We avoid large auditorium lectures. Enjoy individualized attention with our commitment to personalized guidance throughout the program. We have been training healthcare professionals for almost two decades. Since its inception in 2007, Sonoanatony has received overwhelmingly positive reviews/feedback each year.

Join us for an immersive learning experience that goes beyond the basics, empowering you to apply ultrasound techniques confidently in your day-to-day clinical practice.
