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.

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.
