Patients with clinical skin conditions prefer to receive these services from a trusted\, qualified doctor rather than from a beautician or cosmetic nurse. Meeting your patients’ aesthetic concerns and helping them to regain their healthy appearance and confidence will build long-term loyalty and add non-Medicare based revenue to your practice. This strictly science-based\, not company-funded program is delivered by GPs for GPs and features expert demonstrations and training in the evolving field of aesthetic medicine. You will also acquire the medical and business knowledge required to integrate the services into your practice. This course is the first stage of the three-part Professional Diploma of Aesthetic Medicine\, quality-assured by Bond University.
