Located in Beverly Hills, the program provides certified aesthetic medicine practitioners with hands-on experience treating clients under expert supervision. 


The American Association of Aesthetic Medicine and Surgery (AAAMS) announced the launch of its Facial Aesthetics Mentorship Program, designed to bridge the gap between certification and independent practice for aesthetic medicine professionals.

Located in AAAMS’s Beverly Hills facility, the program offers certified injectors the opportunity to treat their own clients under expert supervision while earning income through a revenue-sharing model.

“We’ve identified a significant challenge in the aesthetic medicine industry: the difficult transition from classroom training to real-world practice,” says Sam Assassa, MD, president of AAAMS, in a release. “Our mentorship program provides the perfect solution by offering supervised clinical experience in a state-of-the-art facility, allowing practitioners to build confidence and clientele without the substantial upfront investment typically required to start an independent practice.”

The AAAMS Mentorship Program features several components:

  • Revenue-sharing model: Participants keep 50% of their treatment revenue after covering product costs.
  • On-site medical director supervision: All treatments performed under expert guidance.
  • Fully equipped treatment rooms: Beverly Hills facility with all necessary equipment provided.
  • Malpractice insurance: Coverage included for all supervised activities.
  • Turnkey administrative support: Scheduling, patient coordination, and operational assistance included.

The program is specifically designed for registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and MDs who have completed certification in Botox and dermal fillers through AAAMS or another accredited training entity.

For a monthly fee of $500, participants receive eight hours of supervised training per month, with additional hours available at $150 per hour. 

“The mentorship program helped me transition from classroom learning to confidently treating clients on my own,” says Jessica M, RN, an early participant in the program, in a release. “Dr Assassa’s guidance was invaluable, and the ability to use the AAAMS treatment rooms was a game changer for launching my career in aesthetics.”

Enrollment is limited. AAAMS is currently accepting applications, with priority given to recent AAAMS certification graduates.
