About the TMS Provider Certification Course
The TMS Provider Certification Course is a comprehensive, accredited continuing education activity developed by Solstice Training Institute in partnership with Pinnacle Conference, LLC through a joint providership model. Designed for healthcare professionals involved in or entering the field of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), this enduring online program addresses a critical gap in standardized, practical training for neuromodulation therapies.
Despite growing clinical adoption of TMS for treatment-resistant psychiatric conditions, many providers receive limited formal education on patient selection, protocol application, device operation, and safety management. This activity is designed to bridge that gap through structured, evidence-based instruction paired with real-world clinical application.
Across a series of expert-led modules, learners explore the neurobiological foundations of TMS, clinical evaluation and treatment planning, protocol selection—including advanced and accelerated approaches—and hands-on guidance for multiple device platforms. The course also emphasizes patient safety, informed consent, and integration of TMS into comprehensive psychiatric care.
By combining foundational science with practical, workflow-based instruction, this activity equips clinicians to confidently implement TMS in diverse clinical settings. It supports improved consistency, safety, and quality of care while advancing competency in an emerging and rapidly evolving area of mental health treatment.
