Annual Laser Safety Inservice Training Checkoffs: Examining Standard Operating Procedures for Quality Assurance

A formalized, hands-on laser safety training session coupled with device-specific safety checklists significantly enhances both procedural competency and adherence to safety protocols, supporting such integration into departmental training. These tools not only improve technical skill but also bolsters confidence while promoting patient safety. Adoption of such checklist-based training initiatives across practices that utilize lasers and other light-based devices may help standardize care and reduce laser-related complications.
