Course Description:
Medical/Surgical: A one day,
basic laser course consists of lectures and demonstration "hands-on"
laser training. The purpose is to provide the required Laser Safety
Training for nurses and staff who operate laser equipment and work
in the laser environment. ANSI Safety requirements for Health Care
Institutions and personnel are covered in detail. Practical
biophysics of lasers are taught which describes the different types
of medical lasers, the essentials of how they work and why different
lasers are used for different types of procedures, plus the
practical aspects of various delivery systems including laser
fibers, and of course practical laser safety. A typical
program is 1/2 day theory lecture, and 1/2 day hands-on practice
with the equipment.
Options include deleting the hands-on sessions to provide an entire day of didactics - going into more depth for Medical Laser Safety Officers in areas of safety, ANSI standards and procedures, as well as providing additional credits. Or - you can opt for a two day program in which an entire day of in-depth didactic is presented followed by hands-on training the next day. One of the options in a two day program is to expand it toward Medical Laser Safety Officers and offer the Certification exams at the end. We'll custom taylor it to fit your needs.
The page here describes the basic standard course.
There is a 25 person maximum enrollment unless other arrangements
have been made.
These InHouse programs are offered as either Medical/Surgical
programs, or as Aesthetic Laser Programs in those practices.
Aesthetic: Similarly, aesthetic programs are offered as one or two days. One day programs are typically used for safety training and orientation on new equipment, but one day is not sufficient to teach the full aesthetic laser procedures and safety course. In two days we teach essentially the same Aesthetic Procedures course that we offer as an Online/Home-Study program, plus administer the NCLE Aesthetic Laser Operator Certification exams at the end of the two days (included in the course fee). If you take this route with two days of lectures and testing there is no time for hands-on work. You can do that by either having one of your physicians or senior staff provide that hands-on instruction after the course, or we can extend the program to three days for an additional $1000.
Pricing & Discounts
$1500 for one day plus
reasonable travel expenses for one faculty.
$2500 for two days plus reasonable
travel expenses for one faculty.
Once a date is selected we'll email and educational services agreement outlining what we'll do and locking in the date(s), and ask that it be completed and returned.
