Dear Madam, 
Dear Sir,

We have the pleasure to invite you to the International Ultrasound Course, taking place in Ghent on 19-22 June 2012.
 
This course is organised by the Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation of the University Hospital Ghent. 

The goal of this four-day course is that beginning sonographers are able to perform routine musculoskeletal ultrasound themselves and recognize common pathology in PMR and sports medicine. 

While this course is originally meant for beginners, there will also be an Advanced Course, taking place on Thursday 21 June. This parallel course is meant for more experience sonographers. The topic will be botulin toxin infiltrations (US-guided/EMG-guided) and intra-articular infiltration techniques (hip joint/tibiotalar; joint/shoulder; joint/lumbar facet joint).

The Programme is available here. You can register online here. For the Beginners' Course, the number of participants is limited to 50. For the Advanced Course, the numbers of participants is limited to 10.

We hope to welcome you as a participant to the International Ultrasound Course and remain,

Yours sincerely,

Martine De Muynck & Kevin De Cock

Dear colleague
 
On November, 1 2011 the free smartphone application MediGRIP and the website www.medigrip.org has been launched. MediGRIP is an initiative of the department of Rehabilitation Medicine & Physiotherapy of Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, the Netherlands. This application and website will publish on a day to day basis (365 per year) a headline and commentary on a recent research paper about Physical and Rehabilitation Medicine and related healthcare professions. The editors of MediGRIP have the ambition to bridge the gap between research and clinical practice. We are confronted with an increasing number of research papers and a decreasing time available to read all these interesting topics. Many papers do not get the exposure they actually deserve. This may be frustrating both for the authors as well as for the readers.
We kindly invite you to distribute this information about MediGRIP among the members of your national societies.
During the meeting of the general assemble of ISPRM in June 2011 MediGRIP has been accepted as an official activity of ISPRM.
The editors would welcome your feedback and suggestions for further improvement of MediGRIP.
 
Sincerely Yours,
 
H.J. Stam
