The IBSA International Academy Board consists of doctors who have gained great experience and expertise in the use of ultrasound techniques for the study and management of musculoskeletal disorders.

The teachers are selected for their professional and communication skills in their various fields and, also, for the relevance of their day-to-day practice. The Academy has ultrasound and interventional radiologists, orthopaedic surgeons, anatomists, and rheumatologists.

The Board is an interdisciplinary and dynamic element within the Academy, which reflects our will to give a multi-faceted vision of pathology and foster a multi-disciplinary team of internationally recognised excellence.
