Course Overview
The Shadow Program at Aesthetic Artistry Laser Center (AALC) offers licensed medical professionals an exclusive opportunity to observe the daily operations of a successful aesthetics practice. This private, 8-hour experience allows participants to shadow an experienced aesthetic nurse practitioner and gain firsthand insight into patient consultations, injectable procedures, and practice management. While this is not a hands-on training day, the program provides a realistic and informative overview of what it takes to thrive as a sole provider in the aesthetics field. A dedicated Q&A session at the end of the day allows participants to ask questions and clarify key concepts. Designed for RNs, NPs, PAs, and physicians who are either exploring or preparing to enter the field of medical aesthetics, the Shadow Program requires only an active medical license and a curiosity to learn.
