We have a new virtual course "Developing your Professional Practice" which is included to the THMA Foundation Program.
Aesthetic medicine is more needle to skin!

How nurses demonstrate accountability in aesthetic medicine:
• Providing appropriate and evidence-based treatment options.
• Collaboration between the healthcare team to ensure patients receive the right care from the right provider.
• Staying current on professional standards and providing research-based procedures that are Health Canada approved.
• Adhering to college professional nursing standards and practice guidelines.
• Ensuring patient safety by working within your scope of practice.
• Understanding the need to consult or refer to another provider when they are outside their scope of practice.
• Evaluating and improving patient outcomes through quality improvement.

Reach out to find out how THMA Foundation Program differs from the others.

Elevating your knowledge in Aesthetic Medicine training.

Our Foundation Program for Neuromodulator, Soft Tissue Fillers & PRP or Neuromodulator Only includes a newly revised course "Developing your Professional Practice".

The decision to begin a career in medical aesthetics requires more than just the skill and judgment to perform the procedures.

There are ethical and legal considerations that must be addressed to ensure that your practice is following the highest standards required by your regulatory body.

Outline:
1. Understanding Scope of Practice
2. Role of the Authorized Prescriber and Implementer
3. Accountability
4. Informed Consent
5. Documentation
6. Confidentiality

There is more to Aesthetics than needle to skin!

As leaders in patient safety and following national and provincial regulations, THMA will not be including HUMAN DERIVED exosomes in our training program until we get notification from Health Canada. These products are great, but when used topically with microneedling, they may be used in a manner that is similar to a drug.
THMA will await the verdict of drug vs cosmetic and the regulations that would go with the classification.
Health Canada is seeking input on the proposed approach to the classification and regulation of topical products that contain:
human-derived exosomes
human extracellular vesicles and/or
human cell-conditioned media

Classification is the first step in any regulatory process at Health Canada.

I think this is worth reposting as some companies state they provide certification or nurses state they are certified injectors.
There are requirements to be met to become 'certified' and using this term is confusing to the public.
When providers complete THMA Foundation training, they receive a Certificate of Completion which qualifies them to provide aesthetic injections. Certification is through a National, International or Association that grants the certification once qualifications are met.

This and many other important topics will be addressed during our 'Elevating the Practice of Aesthetic Medicine' panel discussion on Oct 29th with .rx

You won't want to miss this positive discussion on keeping the 'medicine' in our speciality.Tracey Hotta is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
