Course Overview
The Combo Cadaver Course & Hands-On Facial Balancing is a two-day intensive training, led by Dr. Amit Patel (a double-board certified facial plastic surgeon) and expert injectors Rachael Bradford NP-C and Erica Oakes RN-CANS, offers a unique blend of advanced cadaver dissection and live facial balancing techniques. On Day 1, Dr. Patel will guide you through hands-on cadaver dissections of the forehead, nose, lips, chin, neck, midface, and jawline, with a focus on high-risk anatomy and precision in injection techniques. Day 2 shifts to clinical application, where Rachael and Erica will teach advanced facial balancing strategies—including cheek, chin, and jawline augmentation—to create harmonious results. Ideal for medical professionals (MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs, RNs) looking to refine their anatomical knowledge and injection skills, this course combines expert-led lectures with hands-on practice. Attendees can choose to actively inject or observe during the live model session (models provided). Injectable products and medical supplies are included, but participants must bring a valid medical license and supervisory physician approval (if required) to inject.
