5.5 CME credits
Discounted pre-registration fee: $175 On-site fee: $225
Instructors: Jeffrey M. Kenkel, MD and Clifford P. Clark, III, MD
Level: Comprehensive – Nurse Injectors
Organization: Didactic with live demonstrations
Nurse participation limited to RNs practicing within their scope of practice under the direct supervision of a plastic surgeon. Lunch will be provided.
This comprehensive course, designed for nurse injectors provides participants a review of the treatment rationale and clinical applications for botulinum toxin type A and the many dermal fillers available today. The importance of a thorough aesthetic analysis will be examined in detail with a focus on facial anatomy including muscles, nerves and skin layers. Effective pain management options are covered. While all products will be reviewed in detail and appropriate injection techniques for different areas of the face discussed, live patient injections for botulinum toxin, collagen and hyaluronic acid fillers will be demonstrated. Patient safety is discussed throughout the course with an emphasis on avoiding complications. The course will review the importance of teamwork and effective communication between the nurse injector and surgeon and how this relationship can have a positive economic impact on the plastic surgery practice.
Successful completion of this course is the first of two requirements for nurse injectors to receive a certificate of Nurse Injector Course Completion. The second requirement is participation in a physician sponsored preceptorship.
Objectives:
- During the aesthetic evaluation, identify potential deformities. Discuss the patient's goals and explain potential treatment options.
- Given the array of dermal fillers and injectable products that are available for facial enhancement, assess each option in order to design an effective treatment plan.
- During the pre-treatment consult, explain pain management options with the patient and make appropriate decisions based on the discussion.
- When injecting botulinum toxin, demonstrate knowledge of appropriate muscle(s) in order to achieve the desired result.
- When injecting collagen and HA dermal fillers, demonstrate knowledge of product attributes, appropriate depth of injection and specific techniques in order to ensure optimal outcomes.
- When injecting botulinum toxin type A and/or dermal fillers, describe the actions that can lead to adverse events/complications and categorize subsequent management.
