Maverick Medical Education offers a new course that combines regional anesthesia and point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS):
- Regional Anesthesia Essential Techniques is an online course that teaches the basics of regional anesthesia, including ultrasound-guided nerve blocks. The course covers a wide range of topics, including ultrasound physics, anatomy, image interpretation, and needle guidance techniques to perform 6 basic regional nerve blocks.
- POCUS with Vascular Access is an online course that teaches the use of ultrasound for patient assessment. The course covers the basics of ultrasound physics and anatomy, as well as the specific applications of POCUS in these areas.

Pre-Learning
Proficiency Lab
Over two days, students apply lessons from the online pre-learning modules to experiential training exercises in a clinical environment, developing confidence and proficiency in administering peripheral regional blocks. They work with high-fidelity pulsatile cadavers to maximize realism when performing blocks and using ultrasound probes.
Students use live human models to develop their skills in identifying landmarks for both peripheral nerve stimulation and ultrasound. They also work with cadavers to practice advanced needling and demonstrate proficiency in all blocks of training.
Blocks Taught
Regional Anesthesia Essential Techniques:
- Axillary
- Adductor Canal
- Femoral
- Interscalene
- PENG/LFCN
- Popliteal Sciatic
- Supraclavicular
POCUS with Vascular Access:
- Heart
- Lungs
- Stomach
- eFast
- Vascular access using ultrasound
Both courses are delivered in an interactive and engaging format, with pre-recorded lectures, interactive quizzes, and hands-on exercises. The Regional Anesthesia Essential Techniques course includes a cadaver lab, where students can practice performing nerve blocks on the Maverick patented pulsatile cadaver. The most realistic education tool available.
This course is ideal for CRNAs, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and other allied health professionals who want to learn the skills necessary to perform ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and POCUS. The course is also a great way to stay up to date on the latest advances in these areas.
