Welcome to the essentials. In this course, we start with an introduction to ultrasound-guided regional anesthesia and train on several of the essential nerve blocks. The essentials course consists of online interactive didactic modules followed by a hands-on proficiency lab that offers 16 full hours of probe time. We offer the only nerve block course implementing our patented pulsatile cadaver training, allowing students to physically perform all blocks taught.

Online Didactic Modules

Before students enter a Maverick lab, they are assigned the online didactic modules. These modules are asynchronous to be completed on your own time, place, and pace. The modules are interactive providing students with an online learning environment filled with videos, images, presentations, target practice, and practice questions. Students can access content via computer, tablet, or phone with a high-speed internet connection.

*Students must complete the online pre-learning modules before attending the proficiency lab.

Cadaver Lab

Over two days, students apply lessons from the online pre-learning modules to experiential training exercises in a clinical environment, developing confidence and proficiency in administering regional nerve blocks. Students train with life-like pulsatile cadavers to maximize realism when performing blocks and using ultrasound probes.

Students use live human models to develop their skills in identifying landmarks for both peripheral nerve stimulation and ultrasound. They also work with cadavers to practice advanced needling and demonstrate proficiency in all blocks of training.

The program is not your typical “death-by-PowerPoint”!  Consisting of interactive learning modules, it uses the most comprehensive and proven learning methodology or pedagogy in education today.  The modules include pre-testing, mid-term and post-program testing along with many test your understanding exercises. It allows the learner to engage at their own pace and to come-and-go as necessary.

Maverick’s interactive online education program was developed by practicing CRNAs with many years of experience in the field of regional anesthesia, education experts in the field of Pedagogy from Texas A&M University and instructional design professions.
