Eco-MSK

What Eco-MSK is

Eco-MSK is a medical-education platform specializing in musculoskeletal ultrasound for physicians diagnosing and treating injuries of the musculoskeletal system. Its stated teaching principle is “direct to the lesion.”

Courses and levels

Training is arranged in four levels:

• Sonoanatomy
• Sonopathology and ultrasound-guided therapies
• Ultrasound-assisted surgery
• Ultrasound-guided regenerative medicine, or Ortobiomsk

Specific courses include shoulder adhesive capsulitis and hydrodilatation, calcific shoulder tendinopathy with needle aspiration and lavage, and nerve entrapments with ultrasound-guided hydrodissection.

Method

Programs combine classroom instruction with online tutoring through an e-learning platform. Students can access material at any time and ask instructors questions; in-person classes include demonstrations on real patients.

Accreditation

The courses are approved by the Continuing Education Commission of Spain's National Health System. The platform says credits can count nationally for public examinations, transfers, employment pools and career progression, with diplomas issued under the cited Spanish professional rules.
