NHI Trains Doctors From Around the World
NHI held its first course on hair transplantation with a fully subscribed physician attendance of 25 physicians. Slightly over half of the doctors came from outside of North America, two from Australia, three from Singapore and Taiwan, five from Central and South America and others from Eastern and Western Europe. Dr. Martinick (Australia) wrote a review of the course for the Hair Transplant Forum where she stated:
The breadth of experience of the attending doctors varied from nil to over 20 years of transplantation. Dr. Bernstein's careful, logical, step-by-step computer delivered didactic program was such that no matter what your experience, there were mountains of knowledge to be gained by everyone. The main theme was follicular transplantation as practiced by the leaders in the industry. But it also covered patient selection (or rejection), patient communication, informed consent, avoiding problems, hair characteristics, hairline creations and innovation such as GraftCyte and Dr. Rassman's Carousel (seen in action). Staff relationships, education and marketing were also keenly discussed issues. I know that I speak for all the doctors who attended this comprehensive course, when I greatly thank Drs. Rassman and Bernstein. I would urge anyone whether beginning or advanced, to take advantage of this opportunity when it presents itself again.
The "How To" Course in "Follicular Unit Transplantation", co-directed by Drs. Bernstein and Rassman, is approved for 22 Category I Credits of Continuing Medical Education by the American Academy of Dermatology and will continue to be offered to physicians on a year round basis by the New Hair Institute.
The two and one-half day course covers basic and advanced concepts in Follicular Unit Transplantation, and includes a hands-on training session for physicians in the latest surgical techniques. In the NHI tradition, quality assurance issues are covered in detail, and occupy a central position in all of the sessions. Techniques to repair older work are also a core part of the curriculum, as there are so many patients in need of "corrective" hair restoration surgery. For many doctors, gaining experience with the new automated Carousel was the highlight of the course. The last day was devoted to "The Art of Follicular Unit Transplantation" and NHI physicians shared some of the special skills and artistry that are the hallmark of their world-renowned procedures.
