This course takes a different approach to learning shoulder ultrasound. Instead of jumping straight to scanning, you first learn the underlying anatomy in depth. Each structure is then correlated with its ultrasound appearance before you watch a high‑definition demonstration showing probe placement, image optimisation and dynamic scanning techniques. The course focuses on the **normal shoulder**, so you can confidently perform a baseline ultrasound exam before progressing to pathology or injections. With 53 lessons and three hours of video content, you will gain a solid foundation for further training and advanced courses.
This course takes a different approach to learning to perform a normal shoulder ultrasound. First you will learn the anatomy in detail, then its ultrasound equivalent, and finally a real-time demonstration
You will learn the anatomy of the shoulder necessary to understand the ultrasound examination of this joint
You will acquire the technical skills to identify all relevant shoulder structures using ultrasound
The course will remain accessible for 3 months. This allows you to complete it at your convenience and review it as often as you need

Unlike generic MSK courses that cover multiple joints, this course is dedicated exclusively to the shoulder. The focused scope means you can dive deeper into anatomy and scanning technique without being overwhelmed by other regions. It is taught by Dr. Iñigo Iriarte, a PM&R specialist and internationally recognised authority in musculoskeletal ultrasound. Experts describe him as rigorous, generous and deeply committed to teaching. His lectures are praised for combining scientific depth with practical application, and his teaching has shaped the practice of clinicians at leading institutions. By learning with MSKFreak you benefit from the same clear, structured approach that leading sports medicine physicians, radiologists and physiatrists appreciate. The course offers anatomical depth and extraordinary visual graphics while maintaining simplicity, clarity and immediate practical utility. You will gain the confidence to perform a comprehensive shoulder ultrasound exam and integrate it into your daily practice.

English as a second language is bit tedious but very worth learning to understand the presenters style. If the future content remains this valuable, I would pay a fee for life-time access.

Read MoreI have been following your didactics through the book , and video first on you tube and then on inigoiri for quite some time and I have to compliment the continuous improvement. Especially the three-dimensionality of the anatomy and the quality of the ultrasound teaching. Small note of minor importance: some errors in the evaluation of the correct answers to the learning tests. I really hope this teaching continues on this path and I book my membership in case you decide to deal with other joints. Congratulations again !

Read MoreI liked the combination of anatomy and video presentations followed from ultrasound demonstration. The course is mainly for beginners and intermediate levels, but advanced sonographers could also benefit from a repetition. There is however room for improvement in the technical part, especially the last chapters should be reviewed and corrections need to be made. I also cannot log in from other computers and need to request a new password every time (probably a bug). Overall I find the course good and would definitely recommend it.
