Educational Needs

The 2010 Nursing Allied Health course strives to fulfill the educational void in relation to laser safety, technology, and skill. The goal is to ensure that a non-biased venue is offered to all allied health practitioners who desire to increase their knowledge base.

Participants
The participants are those allied health practitioners who strive to continue improving their knowledge so that they may increase patient satisfaction, decrease complications, and ensure cutting edge technologies are utilized to their full potential.

Background Requirements

The allied health practitioners should have a basic understanding of lasers, the science, and their uses. They should work under the direct supervision of a well trained physician.

Instructional Content and/or Expected Learning Outcomes 

The content of this course will enable you to have a better understanding of the importance of utilizing strict laser safety precautions, help you to determine which/when pre/post laser care should be administered,  review fractional resurfacing, non-invasive body contouring, skin tightening and IPL. We will also discuss delegation of responsibilities and the importance of photography in aesthetic medicine.
