Overview

The TMS Certification Course offered via Neuro-Mod Inc. and accredited through McMaster University provides an in-depth exploration of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and repetitive TMS (rTMS). The certification course is designed for clinicians, technicians, researchers, and anyone requiring theoretical and practical knowledge to perform TMS and rTMS. This intensive, comprehensive course includes 6 hours of online content and a two-day in-person program that combines theoretical knowledge with hands-on training in the latest neuromodulation techniques.

Participants will:

  • Gain an understanding of the physics that underpins TMS
  • Explore clinical and research applications of TMS
  • Learn the technical skills needed to perform safe and effective TMS and rTMS procedures

The course covers essential topics such as:

  • Motor hotspot identification
  • Motor threshold determination
  • Neuronavigation
  • Patient safety protocols
  • On-label (e.g., drug-resistant depression) and off-label (e.g., chronic pain) applications of rTMS
  • Advanced techniques such as paired-pulse TMS and TMS-EEG integration
