COURSE CONTENT

     Laser training course outline:

•  Laser physics and safety
•  Fitzpatrick skin typing
•  Patient selection
•  Contraindications in laser therapy
•  Desired endpoints
•  Hands on training/treating
•  Certificate of training

Most trainings can be completed in one full day. In some cases doctors/nurses/technicians feel more comfortable doing training over two to three days. Multiple days of training is recommended for offices with larger staffs, multiple lasers, and multiple procedures. 

              STATE SPECIFIC COMPLIANCE

Many states have now enacted "Laser Rules" that require specific hours for clinical and academic training.  Our certification for these states will include the appropriate number of hours for:

• Fundamentals of Laser Operation
• Bio-effects of laser radiation on the eye and skin
• Significance of specular and diffuse reflections
• Non-beam hazards of lasers
• Non-ionizing radiation hazards
• Laser and laser system classifications
• Control measures

In addition, you may be required to have the following in place at your clinic

• Written policies and procedures regarding the safe use of non-ablative devices
• Written quality assurance program
• Written procedures to identify complications and untoward effects of treatments and to determine their cause
• Written mechanisms to review the adherence of delegates to standing delegation orders, standing medical orders, and written protocols
• Written procedures to monitor the quality of non-ablative procedures
• Written procedures to incorporate the findings of the quality assurance program
• Ongoing training to improve quality and performance of delegates on a minimum of an annual basis

Standards for certification will vary from state to state and to provide compliance with your state regulations. We can offer a 3-5 day training at your location to bring you into compliance.

Most training courses will take place at your location and will begin at 9:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. Additional time may be required to meet the academic requirements of your certification.  A supplies list will be sent out in advance so that the client is prepared for training. Please schedule a patients with a variety of conditions that may be treated with the laser planned for training.   We recommend that 9:00am to 11:00am be reserved for theory, equipment overview, and maintenance.  From 11:00am to the end of the day, please schedule patients every 1/2 hour.

 Fees for training are based upon the laser, the modalities, the days of training,  the number of staff being trained.  Travel expenses are in addition to the fees for training.
