Lecturer: Dr Shannon Munteanu
Following on from the first Lecture last month, Dr Munteanu delivers an essential learning experience for all health care professionals involved in the care of the lower extremity. Exactly how do you use diagnostic ultrasound imaging in your clinical practice? How could it improve your clinical and diagnostic outcomes?
Dr Munteanu is a Lecturer & active researcher at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Victoria - Australia.
Dr Munteanu has been recieved numerous academic awards, and in 1998 was the recipient of the prestigious "David Myers Medal". This medal is awarded to the highest mark within the honours programmes within the Faculty of Health Sciences.
With numerous publications in peer reviewed journals, Dr Munteanu research interests are in polysulfated polyscaccharides and articular cartilage metabolism, musculoskeletal disorders of the lower extremity & osteoarthritis of the foot and ankle.
A member of the advisory committee to the Australian Podiatry Council on Ultrasound Rights - he is the perfect person to be delivering a lecture series such as this.
With the introduction of increased scope of radiographic rights to Allied Health practitioners across Australia, this update is designed to inform, educate and update practitioners on the basic principals of diagnostic ultrasound and normal lower limb sonograhic anatomy.
PORTAL on the ROAD
PORTAL @ Sports Medicine Australia
Recently PORTAL hit the road with some of the Team to Hamilton Island, Australia for the Sports Medicine Australia (SMA) annual conference.
To say it was a success is an understatement - with massive interest in the PORTAL booth we were swamped by people wanting to change the way they think about total lower limb care.
Physio's, Podiatrists, and Sports Physicians all joined up for what promises to be a bumper 2009!
Not only did the practitioners come in droves, but the LECTURERS also popped in to offer their assistance. We have added 3 massive international names to our list and we will announce their lecture dates and times soon - so keep an eye on the EVENTS calendar.
See some pictures of the PORTAL booth at SMA in the members forums!!!
