"Cadaveric precision. Clinical confidence."
Following a hugely successful inaugural course in 2026 — rated 9.52/10 by the founding cohort — Cadaveric Regional Anaesthesia Mastery (CRAM) returns to Sri Lanka in 2027.
Join us for a two-day, small-group workshop combining ultrasound anatomy and needle-guidance techniques on both cadavers and live models. CRAM emphasises practical mastery and builds real confidence in performing regional anaesthesia — skills highly valuable across Emergency, Anaesthesia and Critical Care, and that directly enhance patient comfort and safety.
CRAM is accredited by ASUM for the CCPU (Certificate in Clinician Performed Ultrasound) across six regional anaesthesia modules:
- Fascia Iliaca & Femoral Nerve Block
- Serratus Anterior Plane Block
- Erector Spinae Plane Block
- Upper Limb Peripheral Nerve Blocks
- Proximal Brachial Plexus Blocks
- Distal Brachial Plexus Blocks
As with CRAM 2026, ACEM and ACRRM CPD approval will be sought in due course, and the course is expected to be eligible for the Rural Procedural Grants Program (RPGP) — for which CRAM 2026 was approved.
See it. Scan it. Do it.
