Live, In-Person Course + Hands-On Clinical Training with Patient Models
Join us for a comprehensive introduction to cosmetic neurotoxin and become certified to treat your own patients with FDA approved neurotoxins: Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Juveau.
This course is offered in two parts.
First, our master injector and head of faculty, Tara Delle Chiaie MSN, FNP-BC, APRN, will introduce you to the history of cosmetic neurotoxins, their indications for use, reconstitution, and injection patterns.
In the second half, DCCM™ Academy will supply all students with product and patient models for clinical hands on practice. All injections will be performed by students under one-on-one guidance from Tara Delle Chiaie, APRN. This portion of the course is absolutely crucial for students to become comfortable with the needle and build injecting confidence, all while learning to uphold the highest standards of patient safety.

Do I have to be licensed in the state to participate in the course?
YES, NH is a mandatory license state which means to participate in the hands-on portion of our course you must hold your NH license or be a part of the compact. The turn around time is generally a few weeks with the NH Board of Nursing to receive your reciprocal license. The NH board of nursing is very easy to work with and they have a quick and easy PowerPoint of step by step directions to apply (it's only a few steps). Before you apply for your NH license don't forget to see if your current state license participates in the compact. If you do not get your license in time, you may still attend the course and then come back next month to attend the hands-on portion once you are licensed. It is recommended that you apply for you NH license at least 4 weeks prior to the class.
