Abstract
In 2019 Aalborg University, Denmark, started a new 2-year full-time master program in musculoskeletal physiotherapy. It aims at bachelors of physiotherapy with or without previous clinical experience. As ultrasonography is increasingly used in physiotherapy practice, the new program includes an elective course on musculoskeletal ultrasonography during the 3rd semester.
The course has high priority and a large curriculum constituting a 10 ECTS credits module. It comprises 200 hours of self-study including theoretical and practical sessions, and roughly 100 hours of classroom lectures and supervised hands-on workshops. Considerable teacher capacity is allocated making a hands-on student-to teacher ratio off 4–6:1 possible. Ultrasonography equipment is available for self-study practice between sessions and the students are required to upload 180 scans for review by the teachers.
