“I attended the Global Hands-on Musculoskeletal MRI & Ultrasound Mini Fellowship course for Radiologists . It was a very well organised course. The conference hall had a high ceiling with one large screen and overhead projector and another side screen for full viewing by all . Food and accommodation in the venue is excellent. Conference general and programme instructions were given prior to arrival which was very helpful to plan. Precourse and post course assessment and powerpoint quizes followed by discussion was very useful. Two powerpoint volumes of book and one workbook given to each participant . This helps us to follow the class that is taught. The coloured digital printed workbook of techniques is very useful for my day to day practice and ready reckoner for my doubts even after the course. Prof. John got a huge collection of MSK cases and his way of providing tips and tricks to arrive at diagnosis is phenomenal. His teaching skill is worth mentioning. Morning 8 am sharp when you are fresh, lectures will start with a tea break followed by videos of both MRI and Ultrasound cases of pathologies with schematic and gross anatomy correlation.

Following lunch ultrasound demonstration for three hours in different companies high end machines with passionate ultrasound radiology teachers.. Faculty demonstrate each joint and allow each attendee to do and correct their mistakes and make them learn the correct method in a demo session. Very meticulously planned program. Demo teachers answer with expertise in their field which will improve your knowledge and practice skills and do MSK ultrasound with confidence. The USB given to all participants has teaching material , reference articles, and the reporting format of each joint is very useful and everyday i am reading one reference article and learning. a very useful tool. I find this MSK and ultrasound mini fellowship course is very useful for beginners and practicing radiologists to refresh their knowledge and fine tune your reporting skills. Definitely i will recommend this MSK mini fellowship Course to enhance your skills and report confidently. Happy learning. Thank you for teaching.”

“Simply Great. The MSK US & MRI course held in Malaysia, organized by Prof. John George, was great as far

as the content, duration, experience & way of teaching is concerned. Prof. George himself is very humble & cool, he tried his best to teach us in a very smooth & academic way. I have never attended such a good knowledgeable & extensive course of MSK radiology. We were three from Pakistan, who attended the course.This is true that course was really above our expectation.There were MSK teachers from many different countries but the whole story rotated around respectful Prof. Gorge. He taught us in a very practical way how to incorporate the radiological findings with clinical sign & symptoms. I would strongly recommend my colleagues to attend this course next year . At last not the least, Malaysia itself a very beautiful country to visit.We enjoyed there a lot, visited Langkawi, Penang & Kuala Lumpur. I am very thankful to Prof. George for his kind response to us from beginning of registration till the end of course.”

“The course is an  educational programme that provides radiologists with opportunity to enhance their skills in musculoskeletal imaging as it offers hands-on training in MRI and ultrasound, which are essential imaging modalities for evaluating musculoskeletal pathology. The programme is designed by an expert radiologist and offers a high yield curriculum that covers musculoskeletal anatomy, pathology, and imaging techniques. We can learn form experienced faculty members and get a chance to practice their skills on state-of-the-art equipment. Also, it is highly interactive, allowing ample opportunities to ask questions and engage in discussions with peers and instructors. Overall, this course is an excellent opportunity for radiologists to advance their knowledge and skills in musculoskeletal imaging, ultimately leading to improved patient care and outcomes. I highly recommend this course to my fellow radiologists”

Attending the Global Hands-On Musculoskeletal Ultrasound Course with Basic MRI Video Pathology Workshop for Physicians & General Practitioners held on 18th and 19th May 2025 at Maya Hotel, KL was an incredibly enriching and transformative experience.

Led by Prof. Dr John George, Senior Consultant MSK Radiologist, the programme was a masterclass in the art and precision of musculoskeletal imaging.

One of the highlights of the workshop was the opportunity to learn from Prof Dr  John George, an experienced orthopaedic joint and muscle musculoskeletal radiologist with a deep understanding of rheumatology ultrasound. This interdisciplinary approach was particularly valuable—it enhanced  our technical skills in orthopaedic joint and muscle scanning , rehabilitation scanning and unique methods of  rheumatology scanning for RA  from a  musculoskeletal radiologist perspective .

What set this workshop apart was the calibre of participants and faculty alike. I had the privilege of learning alongside dedicated clinicians from a range of specialties also  from  senior Musculoskeletal radiologists from Singapore (Dr Ashutosh), India (Dr Matthew) and locally (Dr Aida, Dr Emie ) and  Dr Sheela a  rehabilitation physician, each bringing their own perspectives, challenges, and shared commitment to improving patient outcomes through advanced imaging techniques.

I highly recommend this programme to any clinician and fellow rheumatologists who are looking forward to elevating their MSK imaging skills. It is an investment in excellence and in better patient care.

“Perfect course for those who are interested in MSK radiology. It covers a broad spectrum of MSK topics and plenty of hands-on experience. Credits to Prof George who is knowledgeable and humorous, his lectures never disappoint and were full of laughter. Would certainly recommend to everyone who likes MSK radiology.”
