The faculty will guide hands-on training and immersive programs at the AMI Orange County and Atlanta Training Centers.
Allergan Aesthetics has introduced the inaugural Allergan Medical Institute (AMI) faculty for the AMI Orange County and AMI Atlanta training centers. This group of educators has been chosen to help guide the development of the next generation of aesthetic injectors and shape the evolution of aesthetic education through their expertise and insights.
“We are able to truly elevate the aesthetics education experience through our incredible partners who bring a focus on real-world practice insights and clinical differentiation of the Allergan Aesthetics portfolio to every training engagement,” says Matt Williams, vice president of Allergan Medical Institute, in a release. “With nearly 500 best-in-class faculty driving our efforts, AMI offers a comprehensive training continuum that meets trainees wherever they are in their educational journey. This would not be possible without the unparalleled faculty expertise delivered through our training centers, large-scale programs, in providers’ clinics, and through AMI Online education modules.”
Honoring the Expertise of the AMI Training Center Faculty
The AMI Training Centers faculty has been selected based on their experience and commitment to elevating the aesthetics industry through training. Their expertise in hands-on training, leading large-scale educational programs, and presentation skills will enhance the AMI Training Center experience for trainees.
Each training center will have a dedicated Allergan Aesthetics Clinical Education Team that will provide foundational learning principles aligned with Allergan Aesthetics products and standards. The AMI Training Center Faculty will supplement and enhance training with in-practice expertise and guidance to deliver the best in medical aesthetics education. In addition, AMI Training Center Faculty will still play a critical role within AMI’s robust educational offerings in the field, in practice, and beyond.
