Setting Canadian Standards
Since 2008, PTIFAT has been leading the industry by offering the highest level of injectable training available. Recognizing the level of teaching offered by PTIFAT in 2013, Dr. Roberts was asked to consult with College of Dental Surgeons of Alberta to help create the Standard of Practice of Facial Esthetic Therapies & Adjunctive Procedures (FETAP). The goal of creating the FETAP Standard of Practice of was to ensure that practitioners achieve a high-level of clinical efficacy & proficiency through anatomy-based training, prior to learning and performing advanced aesthetic procedures. The FETAP Standard of Practice was released in 2013 currently is highest standard for facial aesthetics in the world.
New Canadian Standard
The CDSA shared the FETAP Standard of Practice with all dental regulatory boards across Canada. As of September 2024, 9 of the 10 provinces have adopted, or are in the process of introducing the Standard within their jurisdiction.
In recognition of this commitment to excellence, PTIFAT was the first educational provider to be accredited by the CDSA. PTIFAT has always believed that there are no substitutes for providing unparalleled instruction and patient care. Today, all our courses exceed the educational and training requirements outlined by the Standard of Practice of FETAP.
PTIFAT is also approved by the American Dental Association Continuing Education Recognition Program (ADA CERP) which provides ADA members and the dental community a mechanism to select quality continuing dental education (CE) with confidence and promotes the continuous improvement of continuing dental education both nationally and globally.
