President’s Perspective: ACR’s Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Certification in Rheumatology Program Helps Healthcare Providers Learn to Use This Tool

Joseph Flood, MD  |  Issue: February 2014  |  February 1, 2014

I encourage all of you who are interested in MSUS to attend one of our programs to expand your ability to use this important modality in rheumatology, or just to gain an appreciation of the capabilities of MSUS and to see the novel imaging of the literal “spaces” in which we work. I did the latter and am very impressed with the new view of rheumatology I saw. MSUS is an important tool in our work to Advance Rheumatology!


Dr. Flood is a rheumatologist at the Columbus Arthritis Center and adjunct associate professor at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Public Health, both in Columbus. Contact him at [email protected].
