Question 1

Where is the Denver training venue located?

Accepted Answer

The PracticalCME Denver Botox and Dermal Filler training site is located in the Denver metropolitan area, accessible from Denver International Airport (DEN). The specific venue address is announced on the live-dates registration map on the PracticalCME homepage once each session date is confirmed. The site is positioned to serve aesthetic clinicians across Denver, Aurora, Boulder, Fort Collins, Colorado Springs, Lakewood, and the broader Front Range corridor, with reasonable travel from Wyoming, Nebraska, western Kansas, New Mexico, and Utah. 2027 marks the launch of Denver as a PracticalCME market.

Question 2

What is the live hands-on day like at the Denver session?

Accepted Answer

The hands-on day runs 4.5 hours. The time is spent on a brief review and Q&A, patient assessment, treatment planning for each patient on the day's schedule, and hands-on injection on live patients under direct MD supervision. The accredited 7.25-hour online CME course is prerequisite and self-paced, so no part of the live Denver day is spent catching up on didactic content. Every attendee performs the full workflow: anesthetic, facial prep, injection, and aftercare.

Question 3

Who teaches the Denver session?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Gregory P. Zengo, MD, FACOG, Founder and Medical Director of PracticalCME, personally teaches every Denver session. Dr. Zengo was trained in botulinum toxin by Dr. Jean Carruthers in 2001 and has 24 years of injection experience and 20 years of accredited CME authorship. He authored the Botox and Dermal Filler curriculum first released in 2012 and continuously revised through the present. Dr. Zengo also personally teaches every Atlanta, San Diego, Phoenix, and Seattle session. There is no rotating instructor roster for Denver, and no part of the live hands-on is delegated.

Question 4

How many hours of CME credit is the Denver Botox and Filler training?

Accepted Answer

11.75 total contact hours: 7.25 ACCME-accredited online CME hours (including 4.7 nursing pharmacology hours) plus a separate 4.5-hour Hands-On Certificate of Completion. Credit totals are identical at every PracticalCME city.

Question 5

Does the Denver course count for nursing pharmacology hours?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 4.7 pharmacology hours are included within the 7.25 online CME hours for both AANP (nurse practitioners) and ANCC (registered nurses). This is only possible because PracticalCME holds direct ACCME accreditation through the Global Education Group joint provider arrangement. Programs that route accreditation through AAFP, dental boards, or state society equivalence credit cannot award pharmacology hours regardless of how the certificate is worded. Nurses who have struggled to meet pharmacology hours each licensing cycle find this a significant benefit. Rolled out in 2026 after direct attendee feedback.

Question 6

What is covered in the Botox curriculum at the Denver session?

Accepted Answer

FDA-labeled indications: glabella, lateral canthal lines (crow's feet), forehead, and platysma bands (Botox FDA-approved 2024). Dosing and handling for all 6 FDA-approved neurotoxin brands. Off-label indications well-supported in the peer-reviewed literature and included in both the online didactic and the live hands-on: masseter and lower face (DAO, mentalis), small-dose frontalis for brow balance, bunny lines, gummy smile, and low-volume reconstitution technique. Not taught by design: Trap Tox at supraphysiologic doses, Barbie Botox, and any technique whose evidence base is a viral video rather than a peer-reviewed study.

Question 7

What is covered in the dermal filler curriculum?

Accepted Answer

Hands-on filler technique in Denver: lips (volume and shape), perioral lines, nasolabial folds, and marionette lines. Technique and safety instruction: needle versus cannula selection, vascular anatomy and danger zones, product selection by indication, hyaluronidase reversal, vascular occlusion protocol, and the step-by-step vision-loss response algorithm. Not taught by design: mid-face filler, chin and jaw projection with HA, and high-volume cheek sculpting. The decision to keep mid-face out of the curriculum is deliberate and based on 24 years of injection experience.

Question 8

How much toxin and filler is included for hands-on practice?

Accepted Answer

Every Denver attendee receives a guaranteed 20 units of BTX-A and 1cc of hyaluronic acid filler for live injection practice at no additional charge. The product is included in tuition and dispensed on the day of the hands-on.

Question 9

Can I bring my own patients for additional hands-on?

Accepted Answer

Yes. There is no cap on hands-on if you bring your own suitable patients and purchase additional toxin and filler at below-retail rates on the day of the Denver training. Many providers bring one or two additional patients to extend their supervised experience before performing procedures in their own practice.

Question 10

How are the hands-on patients recruited and consented?

Accepted Answer

Every hands-on patient at the Denver training is consented by Dr. Zengo as a PracticalCME patient. Attendees never pay the patient, never collect money from the patient, never sign a treatment agreement with the patient, and never carry individual liability for the hands-on treatment. The faculty MD is the treating physician on the record. PracticalCME does not use paid community models who charge the training company.

Question 11

Which licensed providers can register for the Denver training?

Accepted Answer

Registered Nurses, Nurse Practitioners, Physician Assistants, Physicians (MD and DO), and Dentists (DDS/DMD) where their legal scope of practice allows aesthetic injection. The curriculum covers Colorado-specific delegation and supervising physician requirements in detail, including Colorado's specific requirements for RN delegation under a physician standing order and NP independent practice authority. Completing a training course does not alter the legal scope of practice for the attendee's licensure.

Question 12

Can an RN or NP from another state attend the Denver training on a compact license?

Accepted Answer

Colorado is an RN compact license state under the enhanced Nurse Licensure Compact (eNLC), so RNs from any compact state can practice as RNs in Colorado. However, an NP license is state-specific and does not travel with the compact. An NP from outside Colorado attending the Denver training should confirm their own home-state licensure for aesthetic injection before offering the procedure in their own practice. Dr. Zengo is the treating physician on the record for all hands-on patients, which is the legal basis under which the Denver training proceeds.

Question 13

Is a payment plan available for the Denver training?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Affirm financing is available at checkout, with rates as low as 0% APR for 6 months for qualified applicants. Longer repayment terms are available at standard APR. Tuition and the Affirm option are published on the product page. There is no sales call to find out the price and no scholarship application process. The accredited online course is accessible immediately upon purchase, and the Denver hands-on component can be scheduled at any available date within the two-year access window.
