Course Overview
The Aesthetic Apprenticeship Program is a beginner-level program designed for licensed physicians (MD/DO), PAs, NPs, and RNs who want to build confidence and hands-on skills in aesthetic medicine. Participants will observe a variety of cosmetic procedures during a 24-hour shadowing experience and receive one-on-one training focused on neuromodulators, dermal fillers, and advanced treatments like PDO threads, Sculptra, Kybella, and lasers. The flexible schedule allows you to choose full 8-hour days or 4-hour sessions, tailoring the experience to your learning goals. The hands-on portion emphasizes injectable techniques, including cannula use, with optional add-ons for specialized procedures. Live models are included, and all necessary materials (except injectable products, which must be purchased separately) are provided. Class sizes are kept small for personalized attention. A light breakfast, lunch, and snacks are included, and attendees should wear scrubs and closed-toed shoes. Prerequisites include current licensure and certification from an accredited aesthetic program. Upon completion, you’ll gain real-world skills and ongoing mentorship. CME credit is available through IAPAM’s accredited certification options, including live symposiums or on-demand courses.
