Who this course is for
This course is intended for licensed healthcare professionals and appropriate clinical team members. Enrollment does not establish that a learner is legally permitted or clinically competent to perform any procedure. Scope of practice, prescriptive authority, orders, physician delegation, supervision, facility policy, and training requirements vary by license and jurisdiction.
Before treating patients
- Confirm that the procedure is permitted within your current license, role, population focus, and state rules.
- Obtain every required order, delegation, protocol, supervisory relationship, and facility approval.
- Complete appropriate hands-on education, product-specific instruction, supervised practice, and competency validation.
- Use only lawfully obtained, authentic products and maintain an emergency and referral plan appropriate to the procedure.
Important: Continuing education may improve knowledge within an existing professional scope, but it does not expand licensure or independently authorize practice. No patient outcome, certification, employment result, revenue result, or legal eligibility is guaranteed. Learners are responsible for verifying current requirements with their licensing board, supervising or delegating clinician, employer, insurer, and applicable laws before providing care.
