FAQS

Who is a Team Member and why are they recommended to come to the course?
Team Members are any non-injecting staff member within your office, such as reception, office managers, chair-side assistants, hygienists, etc. We have found that the offices who cross-train their entire teams are the most successful integrating treatment into their practice two years after taking the course. 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.
What are EMG’s and why are they important?
PTIFA teaches you how to incorporate electromyograph (EMG) analytics when treating your myofascial pain patients with therapeutic botulinum toxin. Incorporating EMG analytics allows the practitioner to determine which muscle is firing, calculate proper dosage and know when to re-inject. Without EMG’s, practitioners treat their patients blindly. Chair-side assistants and Team Members play an important role discussing and using the EMG’s on patients. Additionally, Team Members will learn how to load syringes and take the correct photographs for treatment in the mid-face, lower-face and neck.
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.
