I am looking for a brief training course suitable for a medical doctor
that will teach the electrodiagnosic techniques used in the diagnosis
of carpal tunnel syndrome. Course needs to be Europe based. Please
provide contact details for such courses. |

Hello simon1234-ga,
I have been researching this interesting question for you. Courses can
more readily be found in the U.S., but I have found an online course
in the UK that includes electrodiagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrom. The
course description indicates that this section examines the causes of
severe carpal tunnel syndrome, current methods of diagnosis, and the
benefits of hand evaluation while conducting these tests. I have also
inquired with a professional society in europe that might be able to
direct us to other courses, but I have not yet received an affirmative
reply. This online course is the only one I have so far located, and
shall be pleased to post the details for you as an answer if you wish.
I could also continue to pursue the question with the professional
society. Kindly let me know how you wish me to proceed.
Regards,
vitalmed-ga

Hi vitalmed,
If you could pursue the the question with the professional body I'd be
most grateful, I myself have trawled the web and found a number of
courses in the states though I was not aware of the online option. I
think a hands on course would be of greater benefit, the emphasis
really needs to be on neurophysiology. Also I'd be keen to train
outside of Britain since my experience with education there has been
less than favourable and I myself am based in mainland europe.

Hello simon1234-ga,
The International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology is an
organization in europe that should be able to tell us of any
appropriate courses, and I have inquired with them on your behalf. I
wish to provide you the following contact information in the meantime.
You might get a better response being in europe.
