Course Overview
Summary
Training is delivered via a theory and hands-on module where participants will provide students the opportunity to practice injections on 6 live patients with chairside guidance and an initial instructor demo. Emphasis will be placed on patient assessment, patient consult, product selection, and injection technique.
To facilitate clinical confidence, this course consists of didactic lectures, a clinical anatomic cadaver lab, and injection practice where participants will have the opportunity to administer injections with chair side assistance.
Because this course consists of injection practice, we highly recommend that participants bring their RDAs. Learn more about our Neuromodulators Assistant course.
- If you proceed onto Level 4A you will receive a complimentary admission to our Neuromodulators Assistant course for a Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) of your choosing. If you wish to have additional RDAs become certified there is an additional fee of $500 per DA.
