A CERTIFICATION PROGRAM OF THE AAOM

Course Description

The Medical Ozone Therapy in Regenerative Orthopedics Certification Program is a comprehensive two-part educational experience designed to provide healthcare professionals with both the foundational knowledge and practical skills needed to approach medical ozone therapy thoughtfully, safely, and systematically.

Rather than treating ozone therapy as a collection of isolated techniques, the program integrates science, clinical reasoning, patient safety, equipment proficiency, procedural principles, and hands-on skills development into a unified educational pathway.

A Two-Part Learning Experience: Knowledge First. Skills Second. Integration Throughout.

The certification program combines two complementary components designed to move participants from foundational knowledge to practical clinical competency.

Part I — Online Learning

The self-paced online curriculum provides the scientific and clinical foundation for the certification program. Across eight chapters, participants explore the principles of medical ozone therapy, ozone generation and equipment, concentration and dosing, patient selection and contraindications, emergency preparedness, integration with regenerative injection therapies, evidence across orthopedic applications and routes of administration, and the regulatory, consent, and documentation considerations that accompany clinical practice.

The online curriculum is intentionally designed to provide the knowledge, vocabulary, safety framework, and clinical reasoning participants need before arriving for in-person training. By completing this material in advance, classroom lecture time is reduced and the live course can focus primarily on practical instruction, demonstration, and supervised skills development. (online learning is estimated to be available December 1, 2026)

Part II — Hands-On Clinical Training

The in-person component is built around application. Approximately 75–80% of the in-person training is devoted to practical instruction, faculty demonstrations, and hands-on skills development. In a clinical learning environment, participants work in small teams with faculty to develop practical familiarity with medical ozone equipment, preparation and handling, treatment planning, procedural workflows, and selected administration techniques.

Important Clinical Features:

• Approximately 75-80% practical instruction and demonstrations

• 2-3 selected injection targets per joint or anatomical region

• Surface anatomy, palpation, marketing, ultrasound verification, and injection techniques

• More emphasis on technology, innovation, and clinical experience 

• Hands on competency assessment as part of certification

Through faculty demonstration, case-based discussion, guided practice, and supervised skills development, participants have the opportunity to translate concepts from the online curriculum into practical clinical decision-making and procedural skills.

The two components are intentionally designed to work together. The online curriculum answers the why behind medical ozone therapy: the science, evidence, dosing principles, safety considerations, patient selection, and clinical decision-making that inform responsible use. The hands-on course focuses on the how: translating those principles into organized clinical workflows and developing procedural skills under faculty guidance. Together, they create a structured certification pathway that emphasizes not simply learning how to perform a procedure, but understanding when it may be appropriate, why a particular approach is being considered, how to perform it safely, and how to evaluate and document the outcome.
