About the Event

Join John E. Hoopman, CMLSO from UT Southwestern Medical Center Dallas in a one-day, didactic overview of laser and light-based physics. This course provides physicians and non-physician staff with an academic forum to learn the fundamental characteristics of lasers and light-based devices, and how to apply those fundamentals to common procedures, improve efficacy, and reduce complications. All fundamentals taught are based on translational research and peer-reviewed papers, many co-authored by John himself (62 total publications).
