Clinical Education Courses
In-Office Territory Manager Demonstration
BioForm Medical prides itself on the quality of our Territory Manager group. These highly trained individuals not only serve as Radiesse® practice consultants, but also are knowledgeable in the best clinical practices for RADIESSE filler use. As such, each BioForm Medical Territory Manager offers you the opportunity to have an in-office demonstration to impart the best clinical practices for RADIESSE dermal filler use. During the in-office demonstration, RADIESSE diller will be provided at no charge. To arrange a demonstration, you may contact your Territory Manager directly or call the BioForm Medical Customer Service Team at 866-862-1211.
Clinical Education DVD
BioForm Medical has produced an exhaustive clinical education training DVD to serve physicians wishing to learn techniques associated with injecting RADIESSE dermal filler for its approved facial aesthetic indications. Also included is a discussion on the basic science behind RADIESSE dermal filler, its mechanism of action, and physician experience with the material. To request a copy, contact your local Territory Manager or call BioForm Medical Customer Service at 866-862-1211.
Peer-to-Peer Physician Workshops for HIV Care Physicians
BioForm Medical is committed to the value of peer-to-peer learning. To further physician education, workshops discussing and demonstrating RADIESSE dermal filler use are held throughout the United States. These events are designed for physicians to learn the science, history, and best clinical practices for RADIESSE dermal filler use from a physician colleague who has extensive RADIESSE treatment experience. Included in this evening course is a didactic presentation followed by a live injection demonstration of RADIESSE dermal filler use in facial aesthetics. To find out when a workshop will be held in your area, contact your Territory Manager or call the BioForm Medical Customer Service Team at 866-862-1211. Please ask about the 'Primary Care Physician' Peer-to-Peer Workshops. There is no charge for admittance to these events. View a schedule of events and sign up.
In-Office Field Clinical Specialist Demonstration
BioForm Medical has employed Field Clinical Specialists (FCS) to actively train practitioners on the best clinical practices for RADIESSE dermal filler use. Each member of this group of individuals possesses an RN degree or higher and has extensive experience using injectable filler materials for facial aesthetics and facial lipoatrophy treatment. The Field Clinical Specialist provides basic and advanced training on the best clinical practices for RADIESSE dermal filler use in facial aesthetics. In addition to training, the FCS provides answers to specific detailed questions asked by physicians and also aids in training of the BioForm Medical Territory Managers.
Workshops at National and Regional Conferences
Similar to the Peer-to-Peer Physician Workshops, this format provides interested physicians with a didactic presentation followed by live injections demonstrating the approved uses of RADIESSE dermal filler at Specialty Regional or National Conferences held throughout the United States.
Medical Education Faculty Preceptorship Training
The RADIESSE Medical Education Faculty (MEF) is composed of approximately 120 physicians from across the United States who are experts in the use of RADIESSE dermal filler. These physicians possess a wealth of experience and knowledge and have agreed to hold preceptorship trainings for colleagues who desire peer-to-peer learning and to be certified as RADIESSE injectors.
Preceptorship sessions are typically held in the MEF's office or clinic where s/he will provide instruction on the best clinical practices for use of RADIESSE dermal filler in facial aesthetics. Typically, each training includes 2-5 physician attendees. Those physicians wishing to inject RADIESSE filler during the training session are to provide their own patients.
BioForm Medical will provide RADIESSE syringes for the training at no charge. However, in order to reserve your space for attendance, and for the Radiesse MEF to take time out of his/her practice, BioForm Medical requests that physician trainees pre-purchase five 1.3 cc syringes of RADIESSE dermal filler at the reduced price of $1,175 (a $300 savings).
Following your completion of the MEF preceptorship, BioForm Medical will ship your pre-purchased RADIESSE product and provide you with a certificate that denotes completion of training.
To arrange for a RADIESSE Medical Education Faculty preceptorship training session, contact your local Radiesse Territory Manager, the BioForm Medical Customer Service Team at 866-862-1211, or the MEF Coordinator via email at mefcoordinator@bioformmedical.com.
