This post is of interest to my medical colleagues and people with an interest in advanced MSK US.
Dr. Carlo Martinoli from Genoa will be hosting an advanced three day Masters course in Toronto from the 26th to 29 October this year.
I have had the priviledge of being taught my this good man and his team on quite a few occasions, his CV is extensive, he has authored numerous books, published widely, has a great You Tube channel and is a gifted teacher. I strongly advise anyone who has the opportunity to attend to do so and register early, space is limited and Toronto in the fall is beautiful.
At the moment registration is open to Canadians but soon general registration will open.
I would strongly recommend that anybody with an interest in advanced musculoskeletal ultrasound consider attending this course, Dr. Martinoli is a world authority and certainly one of the most outstanding teachers I've ever had the privilege of listening to.
Below is the link to the course.

I left Cape Town and did my internship at the Edendale Hospital in Kwazulu –Natal, then returned to Cape Town for six months of pediatrics at the Red Cross War memorial Children’s hospital. Then followed 24 months of Government service or National Service which was something all South Africans did. I was very fortunate!! During this period, I worked in the rural areas of Kwazulu-Natal, a subtropical region of the country with spectacular mountain ranges (No, not bigger that the Rockies but home to the Amphitheatre!!), warm humid climate, the nearby Indian Ocean and traditional home to the Zulu nation. I worked among them for one year, gained experience in OBGYN, Anaesthetics and pediatrics. I spent 6 months in Namibia, again in rural medicine and had exposure to infectious disease and internal medicine.
Following that period, I returned to the big city and worked for 18 months in the teaching hospitals in the city of Durban, KwaZulu-Natal in Anaesthesia and Cardiac medicine before moving to Cape Town in 1986 and doing fellowships in Internal Medicine and Rheumatology.
I remained as a community Rheumatologist in Cape Town working at the Vincent Pallotti Hospital in Pinelands, a suburb of Cape Town before relocating to Alberta, Canada in 2007.

My interest in Musculo-Skeletal imaging actually started in Cape Town, early in my career, during a visit to Oxford and Leeds in the United Kingdom. I have been fortunate enough to continue and foster that passion here in Canada and now consider Point Of Care (POC) Ultrasound an essential tool in the evaluation of most inflammatory and non-inflammatory disorders.
It is my aim to provide a simple overview of what services I offer, prepare you for your visit to the clinic, explain where we are and give you a brief overview of the disorders I deal with. I do not want to overload you with vast amounts of technical information, but rather provide some simple information and the offer links for to those who wish to take matters further.
The SERVICE offered in the clinics:
The clinic offers a Point-of-Care Ultrasound service which is aimed at assisting referring family doctors with their patients who may have joint pain, soft tissue pain. In addition, we serve other consultant Rheumatologists in the Edmonton area in assessing the presence of early joint inflammation, monitoring joint inflammation and also response to the various anti rheumatic treatment regimes. This is not an imaging service or imaging facility; the focus is entirely point of care for patients with Musculo-skeletal disorders.
Please note that as a specialist service, we can only see patients upon receipt of referral from a medical practitioner or allied health professional. We do not offer a “Walk In “ service.
