Meet ANSI and JCAHO training requirements for Surgical Staff
by joining our periodic Videoconference Sessions

WHY VIDEOCONFERENCE?

It’s Easy and Inexpensive

Save both time and money on travel expenses (especially gas and airfares!) and receive the same training for your staff  in the convenience of your own facility. It’s really easy and here’s all you need:

* Lecture room large enough for your staff that has digital projection and a screen.
* Computer with a high speed internet connection
* Speaker Phone

This is easy enough that anyone that can web-surf can subscribe and make it work, but you can also ask your AV dept. to help if you like. No specialized VideoConferencing equipment is required.

RECORD the session on your computer  and continue to use it FOR UP TO A YEAR for new staff. Subscribe to a new session each year for updated material.

But What about Hands-On Training
on our Lasers?

You have two good options. Most hospitals already have their senior laser assistants or biomedical engineers who know how to teach the panel operation and setup of the laser equipment. Combining that capability with your own people, with this accredited didactic presentation will meet both requirements for you.
OR—We do offer complete In-House training programs with hands-on instruction with your own lasers for $1500 plus travel expenses for one person, which might vary from $600-$900 depending on location. If you have the people who can teach the “push button” training yourself, the VideoConference will save you about $1600. If you don't have this capability then our one day In-House program is for you.

 What do we Receive?

* Live PowerPoint Laser Lectures projected into your facility - classrooms, auditorium, etc.
* Live Interactive Discussion Sessions with the speaker
* Master copy of the Course Manual and PowerPoint Printouts provided which you may copy and distribute to your staff.
* Simple written Instruction sheet and authorization codes to join the VideoConference, and instructions for advance practice.
* Accredited Certificates of Laser Training for all participants (for the $20 per person additional fee).
