AAFP accreditation certification for PracticalCME Botox and Filler Training Courses

Los Angeles Botox Hands-On Courses for Nurses, Physicians and Nurse Practitioners are taught by PracticalCME throughout the year. PracticalCME’s FAST TRACK ™️️️ Online plus Live Blended learning allows participants to learn the material at home at your own pace prior to the live hands-on training date. You will be fully confident in your knowledge, and have already earned your first of two AMA Category 1 level CME certificates before you even attend the live Los Angeles class date. There you will experience…

Our blended dual-certification online + live training is second to none in the industry. PracticalCME has earned an average of 4.8 stars in reviews from actual attendees since our first blended FAST TRACK Botox Training Course was held in 2014. We have paired up our Botox and Dermal Filler Training with Cosmetic Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) so that you can certify in both at the same live training date, because we know your time is valuable.

Our Botox Training Course focuses on customizing the treatment plan to the patient’s own movement, and never follows a “cookbook” approach. For example, we teach a different dilution and precise muscle identification techniques so you can truly isolate the true cause of the patient’s wrinkles and effectively stop the clock on their aging process even on your first few patients, without having to see the patient back for touch-up treatments. The online course material drills these techniques home with additional treatment videos demonstrating the best technique prior to your live hands-on training class.

Our Dermal Filler Training Course curriculum focuses on using less product but at the proper depth to achieve the most natural filling of static folds and wrinkles of the face, in addition to the most natural lip reinflation techniques. You will be impressed with the results when simply using the right technique and depth at your supervised hands-on treatment session. Their folds and wrinkles will disappear before your eyes while your patient remains comfortable.

As a result, PracticalCME has heard from many RN’s who took our training and taught their supervising physicians a few things upon return to the office.

    There are a limited number of seats available for such intensive training programs, allowing medical practitioners to get the specialized knowledge and skills they need to excel in their field. All of the courses cost a bit over $106 a month with 0% interest rates included.when you qualify for financing through our partner Affirm.

    Post-training support is also available for all nurses throughout the training course in the form of email and live chat through a submission form. Dual certification is provided by the end of the live training programs.

    This is a question that many nurses and medical professionals struggle to answer for themselves.

    It’s true that Botox training is vital to ensure safe and effective injection techniques of the popular cosmetic injectable, yet it’s also important to consider whether such training is successful from both a patient and practitioner perspective.

    PracticalCME training sessions are supervised by experienced and accredited professionals, including MDs, RNs, and DDSs who are committed to teaching safe and successful injection techniques.

    Nurses and other medical practitioners can learn emergency medicine techniques from expert and knowledgeable professionals in a meticulous and systematic manner.

    Registered nurses also receive extensive instruction and advice on patient histories, muscle adjustments, and facial aesthetics, as well as individualized treatment plans for live patients.

    Rather than learning from a manual, trainees get to learn from experienced professionals directly working in the field on actual patients. During the training, nurses will work with real clients to administer Botulinum toxin, which will allow each participant to have a full understanding of the product and application process.

    PracticalCME offers 100 live training programs annually, with each course catering to a maximum of only 4-6 students.

    The programs are taught under the supervision of award-winning MD professionals, who offer their limited time and expertise on Botox while away from their personal practices. As a result, the application deadline is short with limited entries permitted every year.

    Interested participants can still take up the online courses and start learning at their own pace.

    Online certification is also provided after completing the virtual training program. However, all of the hands-on training options have a specific date of application and a city where the program will be held.

    While it might be tempting to pick up a book on the subject and call yourself a ‘Botox expert,’ the best way to become an effective injector is to attend CME-accredited courses like the ones offered by PracticalCME.

    In addition to the in-classroom instruction and full-length training modules, students will also have hands-on practice with real live patients during the training course.

    Safety Information

    Indications

    Botox training is a course designed to train medical specialists in the safe and effective administration of botulinum toxin injections.

    Both types of injectables are popular in the industry of medical aesthetics and are often used together to achieve optimal results.

Further information about dermal fillers from the FDA can be found here.
