Instructor

Iñigo Iriarte

Dr. Iñigo Iriarte is a physician specialized in musculoskeletal ultrasound, with extensive experience in clinical practice and medical education.


He is the author of a widely used musculoskeletal ultrasound textbook that has been incorporated into residency and fellowship training programmes, including at leading academic institutions.


He is also part of the medical services of Athletic Club Bilbao, where musculoskeletal ultrasound is routinely applied in the assessment and management of elite athletes.


His teaching approach emphasizes anatomical understanding, structured scanning protocols and clinical reasoning, with a strong focus on reproducibility in daily practice.

Accreditation & CME

This programme is accredited by the European Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (EACCME®) of the UEMS.


Physicians who complete the course are awarded 2.5 European CME Credits (ECMEC®s).


Through a formal agreement between the UEMS (EACCME®) and the American Medical Association (AMA), US physicians may convert EACCME® credits into an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™.

Credit conversion is requested individually by the physician through the AMA.


Accreditation Statement

Only those e-learning materials that are displayed on the UEMS-EACCME® website have formally been accredited.Through an agreement between the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) and the American Medical Association (AMA), physicians may convert EACCME® credits to an equivalent number of AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Information on the process to convert EACCME® credits to AMA credits can be found at https://edhub.ama-assn.org/pages/applications.

Credit conversion is based on one (1) hour of participation equalling one credit. Physicians wishing to convert EACCME® credits to AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ are required to access the AMA website to obtain the necessary paperwork and instructions. A processing fee may apply.

For other countries, physicians should contact their relevant national or regional accreditation authority.
