Copenhagen International Head and Neck Ultrasound Course

A two-day course from the 20^th to the 21^st of June 2024 will teach head and neck ultrasound and ultrasound-guided intervention skills. The course is both for experienced clinicians who aim to improve their ultrasound skills and trainees interested in starting to perform ultrasound in their clinical practice. The course is relevant to ENT specialists and other specialties performing head and neck ultrasounds, such as endocrinologists, radiologists, etc.

This course will cover the essential head & neck ultrasound and ultrasound-guided intervention skills needed. Further, the participants will also practice ultrasound-guided interventions (including fine-needle aspiration biopsies, core needle biopsies, and radiofrequency ablation). An international faculty will teach thyroid, parathyroid, and neck ultrasound, and about half the time is planned for hands-on training. The European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) has endorsed the course, and the curriculum of the theoretical part corresponds to EFSUMB Levels 1 and 2.
