Frequently Asked Questions

Is This A Certified Course?

Radiesse® Dermal Filler injection is not currently limited to a board specialty in medicine. Any physician may learn and inject Radiesse® Dermal Fillers into patients under the scope of their practice. Therefore, there is no “Board Certifying” for this procedure in the USA. You will receive a Certification of Completion that is recognized by the vendors and malpractice insurance companies.

Some states have passed legislations regarding the specific types of training. We recommend that you contact your state licensing board to ensure that our training meets your state’s requirements. Mid-level providers should contact their states as there are various laws regarding supervision of this procedure that your state may require of you.

Will I Receive A Training Certificate?

Yes. You will receive a training certificate after you view the online training material that you will be able to download from your computer.

Can I Get CME Credit For This Course?

Yes, you can. According to the AMA, “Participation in activities that have not been certified for AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™” is a AMA PRA Category 2. The course at Cosmetic Medical Training is currently not an AMA PRA Category 1 course.

According to the AMA policy:

Organizations may not certify activities for AMA PRA Category 2 Credit™ or advertise that an activity qualifies for AMA PRA Category 2 Credit™.

Documentation: the physician should self claim credit for appropriate AMA PRA Category 2 Credit™ activities and document activity title or description, subject or content area, date(s) of participation and number of credits claimed. Physicians may not claim AMA PRA Category 2 Credit™ for an activity for which the physician has claimed AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™. Each physician is responsible for claiming and maintaining a record of their AMA PRA Category 2 Credit™.

Who Is Able To Take The Hands-On Training?

We only train Physicians (MD/DO), Dentists (DMD), Nurse Practitioners (NP), Physician Assistants (PA), and Nurses (RN).

You can reassure your acquaintances that we have not had any MAJOR complications from any of the models.

1 syringe of Radiesse® Filler (lasts +6 months) ~ $375.
