Physician Education
We continually strive to make our courses the benchmark curriculum for mastery in image guided interventional orhtobiologics. Register for CoursesIOF is the first non-profit dedicated solely to Interventional Orthobiologics. Our competency-based Physician Education Program has the potential to revolutionize regenerative medical education by personalizing physician learning in a clinical environment. In our courses, physicians learn and apply core injection skills in a real medical setting with skilled instructors and support staff.
We continually strive to make our courses practical, hands-on, and engaging.

Hands-On Curriculum and Upcoming Courses
FUNDAMENTAL
Fundamental Ultrasound of The Hip and Knee
This course is designed for physicians who need a basic understanding of musculoskeletal ultrasound of the hip and knee for diagnostic imaging and orthobiologic injections. As the preparatory course for the IOF Intermediate and Advanced Hip and Knee Orthobiologic Injection Technique courses, this course will provide the attendee with the ability to understand ultrasound terminology, describe the anatomy of the hip and knee, and correctly identify and locate structures under image guidance. This course is intended to provide the necessary foundation in ultrasound before advancing to image-guided needle injection techniques of the hip and knee.
FUNDAMENTAL
Fundamental Ultrasound of The Shoulder and Elbow
This course is designed for physicians who need a basic understanding of musculoskeletal ultrasound of the shoulder and elbow for diagnostic imaging and orthobiologic injections. This course is the preparatory course for the IOF Intermediate and Advanced Shoulder and Elbow Orthobiologic Injection Technique Courses and will provide the attendee with the ability to understand ultrasound terminology, describe the anatomy of the shoulder and elbow, and correctly identify and locate structures under image guidance. This course is intended to provide the necessary foundation in ultrasound before advancing to image-guided needle injection techniques of the shoulder and elbow.
INTERMEDIATE
Shoulder & Elbow Orthobiologic Injection Technique
This course is for physicians who have a basic understanding of injecting under image guidance and are ready to become proficient in intra-articular and various structures of the shoulder (rotator cuff, biceps tendon AC joint, etc.) and elbow (joints, epicondyles and triceps tendon). This lab includes an extensive diagnostic ultrasound component and image-guided injections.
INTERMEDIATE
Hip & Knee Orthobiologic Injection Technique
This course is for physicians who have a basic understanding of injecting under image guidance and are ready to become proficient in intra-articular and various structures of the hip (intraarticular, tendons, capsule) and knee (intraarticular, tendons, PF joint). This lab includes an extensive diagnostic ultrasound component and image-guided injections.
INTERMEDIATE
Wrist, Hand, Ankle & Foot Orthobiologic
Injection Technique
This course is designed for physicians wanting to enhance skills in small joint injections and covers diagnostic ultrasound of these joints. Injections covered include carpal/metacarpals, wrist intraarticular, finger joints, ankle TT, subtalar, high ankle, CC, Achilles tendon and plantar fascia.
INTERMEDIATE
Spine Orthobiologic Injection Technique
This diagnostic ultrasound and hands-on image guided spinal injection skills course provides a comprehensive review and injection technique practiced under the direct supervision. Spinal ligaments, facets, multifidi and epidurals are covered in this course.
BMA/Adipose Harvesting Techniques
This course is designed specifically for physicians who have a basic understanding of orthobiologics and image guidance and want a foundation on which to grow their knowledge and skills in harvesting both bone marrow aspirate and adipose for biologic injection methods.
ADVANCED
Shoulder & Elbow Orthobiologic Injection
Technique*
This course builds on the intermediate injections (a prerequisite) and covers complex structures of the shoulder and elbow including shoulder ligaments, interscalene, intraosseous, distal biceps insertion, and elbow ligaments.
ADVANCED
Hip & Knee Orthobiologic Injection Technique*
This course builds on the intermediate injections (a pre-requisite) and covers complex structures of the hip and knee including femoral nerve block, lateral hip and flexor tendons, knee ligaments, meniscus and bone augmentation.
ADVANCED
Wrist, Hand, Ankle & Foot Orthobiologic
Injection Technique*
This course builds on the intermediate injections (a pre-requisite) and covers complex structures of the small joints including wrist ligaments and nerve blocks, TFCC complex, ankle tendons and ligaments, tibial nerve hydrodissection, plantar plate, sesamoid and talar/ calcaneal bone augmentation.
ADVANCED
Spine Intradiscal, Facets, Spinal Ligaments Orthobiologic Injection Technique*
This one-day course is designed for physicians who have advanced training and skills in spinal injections. Intradiscal, Facets, SI Joint/Ligaments, Multifidus, Supraspinous/Interspinous Ligaments, Iliolumbar Ligaments and Epidurals under ultrasound and fluoroscopy will be covered.
IOF EXPERT SERIES
Intraosseous Injections of the Lower Extremity*
This expert-level course is for physicians interested in learning subchondral and intraosseous injections of the hip, knee, ankle and foot. The interventional techniques will be taught on cadavers and practiced under direct instructor supervision.
*Pre-requisite course(s) are required.
IOF course attendees must be an MD/DO with a MSK specialty and have ultrasound training. IOF courses have a minimum and a maximum number of attendees. Courses are subject to change.
Biologics and interventional procedures are changing the way care is being delivered. With our courses that teach the newest techniques you can quickly become an expert in your field.
