Foundation of Lasers Live Course in Houston

CONGRATULATIONS, you have registered for the Foundations of Lasers live course lead by John Hoopman. You have taken the first step toward gaining a greater understanding of lasers and their application in the medical workplace.

Course Instructor Introduction

John began his clinical experience at The University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas in 1998. He served as the administrator of the UT Laser Program (now some 225-laser strong) covering the disciplines of medical/surgical specialties including Cardio-Thoracic, Oral Surgery, Dermatology, Plastic Surgery, Ophthalmology, Obstetrics/Gynecology, Otorhinolaryngology, Urology, and Neurologic Surgery until May 2019 when he retired after 21 years of service.

John is nationally recognized as a leader in patient advocacy and is an active and guiding member of organizations like the ANSI Z136.3 Review Board (the guiding force in patient safety and control nationally), the American Society for Laser Medicine and Surgery (ASLMS), American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons (ASAPS) and the Laser Institute of America (LIA). With his academic and developmental involvement in light medicine, John has a unique ability to gauge and review most of the new and emerging light and noninvasive technologies being brought to bear in today’s ever changing surgical/clinical world. He has had the honor and pleasure to be involved with revolutionary new laser and light applications that significantly affected both the quality and duration of patient’s lives.

John has also been privileged in co-authoring 62 translational cornerstone research publications. In constant demand by the medical laser industry, John has a unique ability to bring clear and understandable terms to the most complicated of light procedures and methods.
