Always suggest the alternative, the next one and in case the doctor is applying for the level 1, suggest him also the next level 2 conference. 9.

Mesotherapy in Sydney is the only destination Mesotherapy is open to registered nurses. In Australia, registered nurses are performing Mesotherapy injections. However we should add in our reply to her that she may like to check with the New Zealand medical authorities if nurses are permitted to inject Mesotherapy in New Zealand before she registers in our course. Registered nurses can attend: Hair Graft Dissection and Placement Hair Transplant course Mesotherapy (only in Australia) 13. We work with Mesotherapy Worldwide and they are based in Australia. They sponsor products for our Asia Mesotherapy workshops, refer doctor's enquiries to us, as well as recruit patients for all workshops in Sydney. 1. The proper advanced course upon completion of Level 1 Certificate Course Will Dr. Tseng be eligible to progress on to other courses of AAAM? AAAM Board Certification Courses offered in three parts culminating in AAAM Board Certification. Each Level must be completed in order, and none may be skipped, regardless of knowledge or experience level. This means that once Dr. Tseng successfully passes Level 1, he can attend Level 2 Course, culminating in AAAM Board Certification. For further information regarding Board Certification Courses, please follow the link bellow: http://www.aaamed.org/Courses_Cert.cfm 2. Will the course be conducted in Chinese or English? All courses will be conducted in English. However during Level 1 workshops, we will be enlisting the services of a Taiwanese Assistant Trainer to provide explanation of the procedure in Chinese language at workshops. 3. Will all the participants get to do the hands-on practice? if so, how long does each participants get to do the practice? All participants receive hands-on training on live patients at our workshops. Usually we assign 2 doctors to share one patient during hands-on practice and this is closely supervised by our trainers. The hands-on training workshop last around 1 to 1.5 hours. The duration of hands-on practice by each participant will be dependent on number of questions posed to the trainer. In case Dr Tseng would like to bring along a patient for Botox, Filler and Chemical Peel workshops at Level 1 course, please do let us know. 4. As for the minimum attendance requirement for the courses, does it apply to the personal attendance or the number of participants? The minimum attendance required applies to the doctors. Dr. Tseng would like to know how many other physicians that she'll be taking the classes with. We estimate an attendance of 10 to 12 doctors. However at this stage we are still collecting registrations. 1. From Dr. Chin from Singapore who wants to know if the courses are approved by Singapore Medical Council [Jessica] Please explain to Dr Chin AAAM courses are currently not accredited by Singapore Medical Council as AAAM is a foreign institution. Presently only the training programs offered by National Skin Centre by Prof Goh Chee Leok are approved by Singapore Medical Council. However we encountered many cases whereby doctors after completing the program by National Skin Centre enrolled in AAAM courses to gain hands-on training. 2. Dr. Omer Sheikh called to ask why he is not on the list of the doctors who passed Board exam. Secondly, he wants to know once passed a Board exam, does it make him eligible to practice in Pakistan/Malaysia (he said it is similar Pakistan/Malaysia). So, is there any governmental approval we are familiar with which allows him to practice in these two countries? [Jessica] I thought I have asked John to announce the doctors who passed the Board Exam in KL February but I no longer can locate the email. Dr Sheikh is one of the Board Certified Doctors in Feb 2012. Please help me to apologize to him for my oversight and I have activated our webmaster to post his name in our website asap. Pertaining to his other query about practicing in Malaysia, we strongly suggest he checks directly with Ministry of Health Malaysia the requirements and criteria: Kementerian Kesihatan Malaysia Blok E1, E6, E7 & E10 Kompleks E, Pusat Pentadbiran Kerajaan Persekutuan, 62590 Putrajaya, Malaysia. TEL: +603 8883 3888 Email: kkm@moh.gov.my I wish to enquire whether I would be eligible to undertake Masters courses after only complete Level 1 certification. Essentially doctors after completing Level 1 are eligible to partake in all Masters Courses except following 2 courses: a) Masters in Botox & Filler b) Facial Sculpturing Masters in Botox & Filler Doctors who have completed Level 2 automatically qualify for above 2 Masters courses. Otherwise they can submit their credentials to us for AAAM’s approval. Does the level 2 sclerotherapy component enable me to actually do sclerotherapy on completion? The Sclerotherapy treatment is rather easy to perform, as it requires only injection of Sclerosant using syringes and needles to treat spider and varicose veins. Doctors who went through our Level 2 training have offered Sclerotherapy treatment in their practices. However if you prefers to gain more practical experience after the Level 2 course, you could perhaps practice on your friends, staff or relatives etc as it is a minimally invasive procedure. What's the difference between the courses Masters Course in Botox and fillers and Facial Sculpturing Masters Course in Botox and Fillers? The two are the same course. We are trying out using a different terminology for course title to gauge response from doctors. I am really interested in the liposuction course but the course fee is really Prohibitive. Few lectures + 2 hands on can cost US$5,000 We understand your perspectives regarding the course fees. May we share with you why the course fees are on the high side. Liposuction is unlike our Botox and Filler workshops whereby we can recruit several patients for hands-on injections. For training purposes and for patient's safety, our trainer can only limit to performing liposuction on 2 cases per day on 2nd and 3rd day, Additionally by keeping the class size to not more than 8 doctors, we ensure each doctor has hands on experience on live patients. In light of the small class size the course fees are on the high side to cover costs. We apologize AAAM is unable to offer discounts. May we recommend you enroll as AAAM member at USD175 per year to enjoy privileged member's rate at USD5500 please? I am contacting you on behalf of Dr Phillip Wuth to obtain further information about your segment on Minimally Invasive Liposculpture. Dr Wuth is interested in attending your conference in Sydney in August therefore would like more details regarding this procedure. Here is a brief program of the Liposuction course to be conducted by Dr Marcelo Suarez, Cosmetic Surgeon, USA: 2 August: Half Day Morning: Lectures at Parkroyal Parramatta Hotel Lunch will be provided Half Day Afternoon: Live Demonstration on one case at a clinic located in Penrith (one area: either Abdomen, Saddle Bags or Love Handles) 3 & 4 August (at a clinic located in Penrith) Morning: Hands-on training on one case (one area: either Abdomen, Saddle Bags or Love Handles) Lunch will be provided Afternoon: Hands-on training on one case (one area: either Abdomen, Saddle Bags or Love Handles) * 2 – 3 doctors to share a patient * doctors will be rotated to perform Liposuction on the patients Local anesthesia in the form of tumescent solution will be used in the procedure. Doctors will be trained on conventional suction technique as well as Laser Assisted Lipolysis using Deka’s Smart Lipo machine. Online registration is available from: http://www.asiaaestheticmedicine.com/Registration/AU_26To070812_Reg.aspx As Dr Wuth’s membership with AAAM would have lapsed, may we recommend he renews his membership at US$175 per year to continue to enjoy member’s privileged rate for Liposuction course please? Members pay US$5500 whereas non-members pay US$5700. Membership renewal can be completed at below website: http://www.aaamed.org/Renew/ Lastly, may we check if Dr Wuth would be interested to participate in our Level 1 course in Cosmetic Medicine in Sydney on 27 – 29 July please? I would like to know whether your certificate or diploma is accepted by AHPRA in Australia. and If yes do you have any evidence for it? We would like to inform you that the objective of AAAM training programs is to provide knowledge and skill sets more than for the purpose of certification. Currently, only AAAM courses in the US are accredited with CME points by Dade County in US. If you are looking at obtaining practical experience in Cosmetic Medicine, you would definitely find our hands-on training courses beneficial. malaysia would like to knw regarding the aesthethic programme that you are offering:total cost,duration, recognition of it which are the countries tht have recognized this programme is this a master or diploma progmme?
