CONFERENCE INFO

Chronic joint pain is rapidly becoming one of the most significant clinical challenges in modern practice—and denervation techniques are emerging as a powerful, minimally invasive solution.NYSORA now introduces its first Joint Denervation Conference, a unique opportunity to learn the latest ultrasound-guided interventions for knee, hip, and shoulder pain.Hosted at the NYSORA Academy – Europe in Leuven, Belgium, this immersive experience features the groundbreaking QUADRA™ teaching method, combining anatomy, imaging, and intervention into one seamless learning model.Through virtual cadaver dissection, live ultrasound scanning, and expert-led demonstrations, participants gain more than knowledge—they gain clinical clarity and procedural confidence.And for the first time, this experience will also be available via exclusive live stream access, allowing clinicians worldwide to observe, learn, and engage in real time.This is not just a course. This is the future of interventional pain education—accessible from anywhere.

CME Accreditation

An application has been made to the UEMS EACCME® for CME accreditation of this event.

CME Information

What is a CME activity? A Continuing Medical Education(CME) activity serves to maintain, develop, or increase the knowledge, skills, and professional performance and relationships that a physician uses to provide services for patients, the public, or the profession.

Why do physicians need continuing medical education (CME) credit? Physicians use CME credit to demonstrate that they have participated in educational activities and obtained CME credit to document meeting the requirements of state medical boards, medical specialty societies, specialty boards, hospital medical staffs, the Joint Commission, insurance groups, and others

Who accredits the Course? Accreditation by the EACCME means that the CME/CPD activity provided is of high scientific value, is free of commercial bias and promotes active adult learning. This is of paramount importance to doctors who need to report to their National Accreditation Authority on their CME/CPD activity over a certain period of time, and this even more now that many national systems are (becoming) mandatory and not voluntary. By attending an EACCME accredited event, they will be able to obtain European CME credits (ECMEC) which are recognised not only in a majority of European countries (with which the EACCME has signed agreements), but also in the USA and Canada. By handing in their EACCME certificate to their National Accreditation Authority, their credits will automatically be recognised and converted into national credits.

What documentation does a physician receive for participating in a certified CME activity provided by an accredited CME provider? A CME certificate will be issued and can be used to prove attendance.
