Aesthetic Medicine Symposium & Botox® Training is organized by the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine (IAPAM) and will be held September 18–21, 2026, at Sonesta Suites Scottsdale Gainey Ranch in Scottsdale, Arizona.
Overview:
The Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is a four-day, accelerated CME training program designed for healthcare professionals interested in adding aesthetic medicine and medical weight management services to their practice.
The program combines education in five of today’s most in-demand non-invasive aesthetic procedures with comprehensive, hands-on Botox® training. Attendees also receive practical instruction in medical weight management, including the clinical use of GLP-1 medications such as semaglutide.
Through IAPAM’s dermatologist-led 3-Step Botox® Training Protocol™, participants gain practical experience and learn a structured approach to patient assessment, treatment planning, injection techniques, safety, and complication prevention.
In addition to clinical training, the program incorporates IAPAM’s Successful Aesthetic Practice System™, providing guidance on integrating cash-pay aesthetic and weight management services into an existing medical practice.
By combining hands-on clinical education, CME training, and practice-development strategies into one extended-weekend program, the Aesthetic Medicine Symposium is designed to help healthcare professionals gain the knowledge and practical skills needed to begin incorporating aesthetic medicine services into their practice.
