Give very good examples to compare to information to help you understand it better. Teaches at learners level. Would recommend to anyone trying to learn lasers".
This is a practical program that will benefit experienced Laser Safety Officers (LSO’s) and Operators, as well as those new to the field. We begin with a review of Laser and Energy Concepts to refresh your memory. All attendees will be given advance access to the more detailed online training portion so you can learn it all from scratch if needed, AND your facility will receive a free enrollment in one of our quarterly Surgical Laser Principles & Safety videoconferences so you can get your entire staff trained. We’ll have open discussions on relevant safety issues and questions in both surgical and cosmetic laser settings, and will review some laser complications and accidents as case studies. Other relevant issues such as cost effective alternatives for handling your laser maintenance will be discussed, as well as setting up an ANSI compliant program.
