IHHS Board Member and current American Academy of Dermatology President David M. Pariser, MD sums up the treatment of patients with excessive sweating best: "Treating hyperhidrosis leads to greater improvement of a patient's quality of life than treatment of any other dermatologic disorder."
With his words in mind, it's inspiring to observe medical professionals teaching, learning, and perfecting their skills at these seminars, readying their practices to provide their patients with the best available hyperhidrosis care. It's still possible to attend our 2010 CME session in Atlanta on June 5th at Grand Hyatt Atlanta in Buckhead. The cost of registration is $165. Medical professionals who aren't MDs are invited to attend the all-day seminar at NO CHARGE. This event will feature intensive physician training with the world leaders in hyperhidrosis management. A lecture and discussion program in the morning will focus on understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of hyperhidrosis. In the afternoon, the latest treatment techniques—including iontophoresis--will be demonstrated, with special attention given to the effective use of Botox injections for a variety of body areas. Executive Director of the IHHS Lisa J. Pieretti says that these seminars offer a different kind of training, that can't be attained anywhere else. "The key element of our injection training is that attendees have the chance to see treatments of all areas afflicted with primary focal hyperhidrosis." "We start with axillary treatments, just to get warmed up, then we move on throughout the afternoon to treat palmar, craniofacial, submammary, and groin. These are key areas of excessive sweating that physicians and their staffs are hungry to learn how to treat. It's a way of applying a proven treatment to new areas." Dr. Glaser underscored the value of this training this year: "It is terrific to watch the progression of the 'trainees' as they refine their skills from the first part of the live-patient portion to the end of the day. You can see their confidence grow as they practice their techniques." Botox injections are most effective when performed by a physician who has received special training and who has experience with the procedure. There aren't nearly enough qualified medical professionals to serve this population's needs. Feedback from past CME sessions indicates that doctors and healthcare professionals will be incorporating new ways of caring for their hyperhidrosis patients into their practices. Many said it would help them improve patient education and that they had attained a new comfort in performing Botox injections in more areas afflicted with hyperhidrosis. Many also said that they would be buying and using iontophoresis machines. Most also said that they anticipated improved patient outcomes and more patients seeking treatment. Doctors who attend this session earn a full 6 hours of CME/CE credits. Healthcare providers will also have a gold star next to their name in our Physician Finder database. This star indicates to patients that you are up-to-date and most qualified to treat excessive sweating. Make a weekend of it! To make reservations, contact the hotels directly and be sure to mention that you're with the International Hyperhidrosis Society to receive our special rate. The current sluggish economy makes the fate of next year's CMEs uncertain, so we encourage those who can attend this year's event to contact us today. What you learn today, could change a life tomorrow. |
