Laser 2014 will include a Nursing/Allied Health Course on Thursday, April 3 as part of the 34th Annual International Conference of the American Society for Laser Medicine & Surgery, Inc. (ASLMS), April 2-6, 2014, Phoenix, AZ.
The unique activity will offer a forum for discussion to explore the educational needs of the attendees during roundtable discussions with experienced providers and educators.
“I am extremely excited about this particular year’s lineup of presenters! Attendees should prepare for a serious knowledge packed day. All will leave with a broader understanding of today’s advancements in laser technology,” noted Laurie C. Grizzard, R.N., B.S.N., Co-Director. Ms. Grizzard has worked as an R.N. for EpiCentre Parklane and Dr. A. Jay Burns since 2010 and performs multiple types of laser and aesthetic device treatments including involvement in research and IRB studies.

We have internationally known speakers sharing cutting edge information in small group settings with time set aside for peer-to-peer interaction,” said Rebecca L. Sprague, R.N., N.P.-C., Co-Director.
