The NYSORA Learning Experience

A NYSORA workshop is just one part of your learning journey. Every participant gains access to an integrated ecosystem of digital learning, clinical decision support, and continuing education designed to help you keep improving long after the course ends.

01

BEFORE THE WORKSHOP
Build the Foundation

Your learning begins before the workshop and continues long after you leave. Every participant receives complimentary access to the workshop-relevant NYSORA bestselling apps and educational resources to reinforce learning in clinical practice.

Included access (workshop-specific):

This allows you to:

  • Prepare before the workshop
  • Review techniques and protocols anytime
  • Reinforce after-workshop learning in daily practice
  • Access step-by-step clinical guidance
  • Build confidence with every patient

A NYSORA workshop is not a single event—it's the beginning of a continuous learning journey.

02

DURING THE WORKSHOP
Hands-On Clinical Training

Transform ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia concepts into practical clinical skills through expert instruction and immersive hands-on training.

Experience:

  • Live model scanning
  • Faculty-guided hands-on practice
  • Picture-in-picture ultrasound visualization
  • Simulator needling stations
  • 3D virtual cadaver anatomy

Master NYSORA's 1-2-3 approach to:

  • Probe positioning
  • Sonoanatomy and landmark recognition
  • Needle guidance and injection strategy

Leave with greater confidence, sharper scanning skills, and techniques you can apply in your very next case.

03

AFTER THE WORKSHOP
Continue Learning with NYSORA360

In addition to 3 months of access to the relevant NYSORA apps, participants receive continued access to workshop presentations and course materials through NYSORA360.

With NYSORA360, you can:

  • Review workshop presentations and educational resources
  • Revisit key techniques and ultrasound anatomy
  • Reinforce practical skills anytime
  • Continue learning with structured digital content

Your workshop doesn't end when you leave—it becomes part of an integrated learning ecosystem designed to support your clinical practice long after the course.

Real Clinical Discussions

Bring Your Own Cases

Instead of traditional poster sessions, NYSORA encourages interactive clinical discussions.

Challenging cases

Complex anatomy

Procedural dilemmas

Faculty and participants collaborate to discuss real clinical solutions. These sessions often become the most valuable part of the course.

Global Expert Faculty

Learn from the Leaders in Regional Anesthesia

Future workshops will feature live transmissions from operating rooms and procedure suites.

Participants benefit from:

  • Decades of clinical experience
  • Practical teaching methods
  • Direct mentorship

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about our workshop programs.

NYSORA Workshops are small-group, hands-on training programs focused on ultrasound-guided techniques in regional anesthesia, pain procedures, and POCUS. This section also includes Boot Camps, which are immersive clinical observation experiences in a real hospital setting.

Workshops combine brief teaching with extensive hands-on practice using ultrasound machines, live models, and simulators.

NYSORA workshops are highly practical. While short lectures provide clinical context, most of the program is dedicated to hands-on scanning, supervised practice, and real-time feedback from faculty.

Depending on the course, topics may include:

  • Ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and nerve blocks
  • Ultrasound-guided pain interventions (acute and chronic pain)
  • POCUS scanning and clinical interpretation
  • Needle visualization, sonoanatomy, and standardized step-by-step approaches

Each workshop page lists the exact procedures and learning objectives.

Workshops are intentionally kept small to maximize ultrasound time and instructor interaction.

Exact group size is shown on each event page.

Workshops are led by experienced clinicians and educators with deep expertise in regional anesthesia, pain medicine, and ultrasound-guided techniques.

Faculty composition varies by course and is listed on each workshop page.

No formal prerequisites are required for most workshops. Courses support a range of skill levels—from trainees building fundamentals to experienced clinicians refining ultrasound-guided techniques.

Any course-specific requirements are listed on the event page.

Inclusions vary by event, but typically include:

  • Access to the full educational program
  • Use of ultrasound equipment, models, and training materials (for workshops)
  • Course resources and supporting materials
  • Lunch and breaks (when specified)
  • In some cases, access to digital learning tools such as NYSORA 360 or a relevant manual/app subscription

Travel and accommodation are generally not included. Where available, event pages provide guidance on nearby hotels and transportation.

You typically do not need to bring special equipment—ultrasound machines and training materials are provided.

Bring comfortable attire, a notebook, and optionally a tablet or laptop for accessing digital resources.

Cancellations must be submitted in writing to [email protected].

  • More than 30 days before the event: 50% refund
