In this lecture, Dr. Rajiv Sood identifies best practices and shares laser therapy protocols for use when treating burn reconstruction patients.

                                • Understanding basic laser dynamics 

                                • Identifying drugs that can be used for delivery  

                                • Reviewing clinical outcomes using these methods 

                                Dr. Sood serves as the Chief of Plastics and Reconstructive Services for the Joseph M. Still Burn Center at Doctors Hospital of Augusta - the largest burn facility in the country. With more than 30 years experience as a burn and wound plastic surgeon, he is currently an American Burn Association (ABA) Fellow and head of the ABA verification committee.
