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.

Designed for medical professionals (RNs, NPs, PAs, MDs, DOs) who want to refine their knowledge of facial aesthetics, this observation-only format includes anatomy review, technique demonstrations, and live treatment observation.  While participants won't perform injections themselves, they'll watch experienced providers treat live models using provided FDA-approved products and medical supplies. The course is ideal for those seeking to enhance their consultation skills and understand advanced facial balancing concepts before hands-on practice.  No injection prerequisites are required for observation, though attendees must hold a valid medical license.
