Physician Botox Training & Aesthetic Medicine Symposium Testimonials

Since 2006, over 400 physicians have taken our aesthetic medicine training. Our programs include: Aesthetic Medicine Symposium, Physician (hCG) Medical Weight Management Training, Botox Training, Dermal Filler Training, Advanced Filler Training, and Chemical Peel Training.

Here are some of the testimonials regarding our Botox training and medical aesthetic training programs:

“I left your course feeling comfortable in advanced injecting techniques and am much more confident for when I start practice in September. I do not see how a course could provide more hands-on with such a high degree of experienced supervision. As testament to this, I have decided not to enroll in two different courses I had planned to take this fall, rather if I do decide to have additional training, I will be signing up for another session of IAPAM’s Botox Bootcamp and Advanced Filler Courses with you.” ~ Dr. Dillman (July ‘10)

“The symposium was unbelievable. I feel that I am ready to open the Aesthetic part of my practice in a month or so.” ~ Dr. Simon (April ‘10)

“The Symposium presented clinical training and common-sense business advice by knowledgeable and passionate instructors. I feel the education (lecture and hands-on time) was well worth the investment, but the extensive refresher materials provide invaluable continued reference.” Dr. Wolfe (March ‘10)

“The IAPAM conference is one of the most practical medical conferences I have attended. I appreciated the advice regarding setting up your own business and then more important, how to market your business. The written materials and DVD’s are an invaluable resource. The entire staff at IAPAM is professional and such a pleasure to work with. It is definitely money well spent.” ~ Dr. Silva (Feb ‘10)

“I am pleased to send a positive report on the botox/filler training over the weekend. Patricia is a real expert both on content and on education. She taught in a calm, clear, and effective way, with a minimum of didacticism and a maximum of practicality. In the style of the best medical education, it was hands on nearly from the get-go, with demonstration, then direct supervision. The atmosphere was collegial. There was an excellent mix of patients. No time was wasted. The one-on-one training justified the cost. I particularly enjoyed the overwhelmingly favorable patient response. After years of traditional medicine, “Wow” factor is a pleasant surprise. Recommended to anyone getting started in this field.” ~ Dr. Carroll, MD, PhD (July ‘09)

“Just got back from Botox and Filler Boot Camp–had a FANTASTIC experience!! Well worth my time, money and travel. Not only do I now feel much more comfortable and confident in my ability to provide a good service, but I now have a better understanding of the technical and artistic side of Botox and Dermal filler. Anyone, like myself, who hasn’t had any experience in this area of aesthetics should take this course. Even individuals who have some experience will find it extremely helpful. Besides, the folks that teach it were great. Not only technically skilled, but also fun to work with. Rest assured, I will be going back to Canada for advanced filler training after I get some experience with the basic stuff!!”~ Dr. Elliott, MD  (July ‘09)

“This is a true hands on course, in my view, the only way one can confidently succeed in implementing such practice. It is a good follow up after Scottsdale Symposium. The case variety included the full range of Botox and filler applications currently in use. By itself, the case selection seemed an amazing task.  much enjoyed the true life - real office experience of managing patients - from the initial interview, to the co-discovery of possibilities for treatment to the actual treatment and in several occasions, short term follow up. ” Dr. Lahrs, MD  (June ‘09)

“ just wanted to tell you what a great weekend I had in Toronto. Patricia and her staff are among the most talented professionals I’ve met in this field. Her scheduling was flawless, and her attention to details made the day flow smoothly. She tailored the training to exactly what I needed. She and her staff have a way of putting everyone who walks through the door of the spa instantly at ease. There is no doubt in my mind that one day with her has given me a considerable competitive edge in my market of aesthetics.” Dr. Twyman (June ‘09)

“I have been interested to learn more about medical spa directorship for quite a while. Upon in depth research of the the available options I have decided on IAPAM. Their two-day symposium in Scottsdale is very well executed. It is a comprehensive introduction that defines the building blocks of such practice for those who are truly interested to offer aesthetic medicine to their patients. The didactic component draws from the experience of well respected professionals in the field while it exposes the audience to a variety of styles from the initial practitioners like dermatologists to the more recent adopters like family physicians. Jeff Russell, the course director, delivers impeccable presentations, both in style and content, that provide the business foundation to succeed in such practice. The course provides introductory hands-on experience in several aspects of aesthetic medicine like Botox and filer injections. I found this course captivating and worthwhile of my time and financial investment.” ~ Dr. A.L. MD Washington (June 2009)

“The IAPAM Symposium presented a common sense approach to starting an aesthetic practice, without over promising results. The faculty has a dept of knowledge that would help point new comers in the right direction. Also, I enjoyed the mix of didactic and hands-on teaching style that helped me to quickly familiarize myself with several aspects of aesthetic care. I highly recommend the experience because it would serve as a balanced building block to a successful practice. ” ~ Dr. OC O. North Carolina

The bootcamp gave me the tools and information needed to research my concept, learn the financials specific to my vision, and form and present that information to lenders, builders, and vendors. I would highly recommend anyone thinking of starting or incorporating an aesthetic practice attend this conference.” ~ Dr. A.W. MD, Iowa

Botox Training: IAPAM Announces 2010 Training Dates for Physicians

And most importantly, all of our injection training is done in a medical facility or medical spa, not in a hotel room chair. Read more

The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Medicine Symposium has long offered physicians a competitive advantage through its comprehensive, hands-on, “immersion” into the field of aesthetic medicine. The IAPAM Symposium is the only program which gives physicians an opportunity to learn from two board certified dermatologists, who are true experts of the skin and cosmetic injectables. In order to ensure doctors learn the best injection techniques, the botox training is done in a medical practice, not in a hotel room chair.
