The most effective training comes from structured programs that provide a sound basis for patient selection and treatment. These courses address the basic sciences that underpin successful treatment, introduce protocols for patient assessment and selection and treatment planning, and then provide candidates with the opportunity to perform actual treatment and patient maintenance with assistance and guidance from more experienced mentors. Given the breadth of the topics to be covered, these programs must extend over longer periods compared with other approaches. Thus, these programs can be expensive in terms of time and money and difficult to fit in alongside daily practice, leading to under-utilization of this type of education and training.

Intuitively, one might expect that better-quality training would result in fewer complications or failure. While this is generally accepted in health care, little evidence is available to support these conclusions. Certainly, patients and regulators see this connection as true, and this forms that basic assumption that underpins mandated continuing professional development requirements.
