Common Questions Answered
Answers to the questions physicians and clinic leaders most frequently ask about ASAHRS educational programs, eligibility, certificates, and practice implementation.
ASAHRS educational programs are designed for licensed physicians and other eligible healthcare professionals. Because professional scope of practice varies by jurisdiction, enrollment is subject to eligibility review. Applicants are asked to provide their professional designation, license information, and relevant credentials. Specific eligibility requirements may vary by program.
Most ASAHRS programs include hands-on components using clinical models, simulation, or supervised patient participation depending on the program level and format. Live model availability varies by program and location. Program pages specify the educational format, hands-on components, and model participation details. Online programs focus on didactic content, anatomy, and case-based learning.
Participants who complete the required educational components receive a certificate of completion from ASAHRS. Certificates document program attendance and educational participation. Participation in an ASAHRS educational program does not independently grant professional licensure, specialty certification, or authority to perform any procedure. Participants are responsible for practicing within applicable laws, regulations, institutional policies, and professional scope-of-practice requirements in their jurisdiction.
ASAHRS programs are designed to be technology-neutral wherever possible, focusing on clinical principles, patient assessment, treatment planning, and technique fundamentals that apply across devices and product lines. Some advanced programs may include device-specific instruction when a particular technology requires specialized training. Program descriptions specify when device-specific content is included.
ASAHRS maintains a structured cancellation and transfer policy that varies by program and timing of the request. Transfers to alternative program dates are generally accommodated subject to availability. Cancellations made within specified timeframes may be subject to administrative fees. Full policy details are provided at registration and are available on the Registration Policy page. We recommend reviewing the policy before completing registration.
ASAHRS provides post-program resources through the Student Portal, including recorded review sessions, protocol references, faculty Q&A access, case discussion materials, and recommendations for continuing education. The level of post-program support varies by program. Faculty contact information is provided for clinical questions arising from program content, subject to faculty availability.
Yes. ASAHRS offers private and on-site educational programs for practices, clinics, and healthcare organizations seeking customized instruction for their team. Private programs can be tailored to your team's experience level, specific treatment areas, existing devices, and educational objectives. Contact ASAHRS to discuss your requirements and receive a private education proposal.
