Level 2 – Team Training for BoNT-A

This course is for non-injecting team members (ie: office managers, receptionists, chair-side assistants, hygienists, medical office assistants, pharmacy assistants, etc.) to learn how to successfully integrate botulinum toxin services (ie: Dysport®/Botox®) into a dental or medical office and provide the highest level of patient care.

The course includes a combination of an online session as well as hands-on training to practice the skills in a clinical setting. We find that the practices who are most successful with botulinum toxin are the ones that engage and cross-train their entire team.

Course Outline

The Level 2 - Team Training course includes an online component (6 hrs), plus a one-day clinical session (8 hrs) held concurrently with the Practitioner's Level 2 training on the Saturday (typically at Dr. Roberts' practice or on campus at the University of British Columbia).

 

Online Didactic

Team Members will complete an online self-directed component and exam (6 hrs) prior to attending the clinical hands-on session. The online training focuses on providing your team with the basic and necessary information for offering botulinum toxin for both therapeutic and aesthetic treatment within a dental or medical office.

The online portion includes videos on the following sections:

  1. Introduction to BoNT-A
  2. Records (Forms, Photography & FACETEC)
  3. Office Requirements & Tray Set-up
  4. Reconstitution & Drawing-up Syringes
  5. The Ideal Treatment Sequence
  6. Billing & Insurance
  7. Getting Started
Clinical Hands-on (Saturday)

Team Members receive clinical hands-on experience assisting practitioners as they treat patient models. Team Members will have the opportunity to see how the patient is seen from consultation to treatment, to walking out and billing the patient. They will have the opportunity to practice reconstituting and loading syringes, taking the Roberts Facial Rejuvenation Photography series, billing patients & more.

Team Members graduate from Level 2 with the knowledge, skills and confidence to successfully integrate treatment into a dental or medical practice. Team Members who successfully complete Level 2 are provided with a certificate of completion, as well as the necessary forms. Through their Practitioner, they are able to register for the online Support Study Club – offering case support and more.

FAQS

Who is a Team Member and why is it recommended for them to come to the course?

Team Members are any non-injecting staff member within your office, such as: receptionists, office managers, chair-side assistants, hygienists, medical office assistants, pharmacist assistants, etc. We have found that the offices who cross-train their entire teams are the most successful integrating treatment into their practice. Team Members play an important role facilitating the integration into your practice. We highly encourage you register your entire team for the Level 2 – Team Training course.

How many Team Members should I bring for the Level 2 – Team Training course?

We find that the practices who cross-train their entire team are the ones who are most successful integrating treatment into their office.

Can I register my Team Members closer to the course date?

Yes. Typically we can accommodate Team Member registrations, however the practitioner seats are limited due to the low Instructor to Student ratio.

Testimonials

Often the expense of taking courses away from home discourages us from bringing our team, but in this case it is a must. Having the whole team on-board, from reception to hygiene and assistants, really helps with seamless integration of this technique into the office. The curriculum for the team was as detailed as mine, and totally different as their part of integrating and preparing patients is very important and totally different than ours. My staff loved Dr. Roberts and his team and left feeling as confident about the process as I did. What a great way to rejuvenate our team learning something that will bring so many positives to our office!! We are booked for level three next year and we can’t wait!! Thank you again.
