Objectives:
This course is intended for physicians and other clinicians, scientists, researchers, and laser and related technology industry personnel who are considering entering or who have minimal background and experience in the field of laser and other light-based technology and their application in health care. At the conclusion of the course, participants will:
Understand the biophysics pertinent to the application of lasers and other light-based energy devices and related technology, and will be prepared to apply this same understanding related to the provision of patient care.
Understand the working parts of a laser and other light-based devices.
Understand the interaction and implications of using lasers and other light-based devices and related technologies on human tissues and be capable of using this knowledge in the provision of patient care.
Be familiar with a broad array of lasers and light-based devices used in the provision of health care procedures and be capable of determining which laser and/or light-based technology is most appropriately used for particular clinical procedures.
Be introduced to the interactions of lasers and other light emitting devices and popular non device skin interventions (i.e., muscle relaxers and fillers, etc).
Understand the legal issues associated with the use of lasers and related technology in patient care, and will be capable of using this knowledge to avoid any legal ramifications for themselves, their organization, and the patients for which they care.
Understand the safety risks to providers and patients associated with the use of lasers and related technology, and understand and be capable of using this knowledge to practice the safety necessary to provide a safe environment for all providers and patients.
Be capable of practicing good patient selection and properly preparing patients for treatment with light-based devices.
Have sufficient exposure to a cross-section of clinical applications such that they are capable of using this knowledge to discern the clinical applications for which they may or may not choose to develop specific laser application skills.
