The course
Not just a course. A journey. The difference that shapes your professional identity.
There are courses that teach you a technique. And then there are programmes that train you as a professional. They give you not only the ‘how’, but the ‘why’, the ‘when’ and the ‘on whom’ — the comprehensive clinical perspective that distinguishes the expert clinician from the merely practical one.
Pathology and Methodology in Aesthetic Medicine is an Advanced Training Course — International Training Programme — covering the entire discipline of contemporary aesthetic medicine: from the biology of skin rejuvenation to the most advanced techniques, from the psychological management of patients to laser technologies — with an integrated, rigorous and certified approach.
Six months of structured training in English, on the AMI online platform, from your own country and at your own pace. Plus a final weekend in Italy: in-person practical sessions, the examination with discussion of the final thesis, and an international networking dinner. 12 CFU recognised.
A course in a league of its own
Study online, graduate in person. The theoretical component takes place entirely on the AMI platform: six months of lessons in English, accessible from any country. The course concludes in Italy, over a weekend dedicated to practical training and the defence of your final thesis.
12 certified CFU credits. Not just a certificate of attendance: an academic qualification from the “G. d’Annunzio” University of Chieti-Pescara, recognised on your professional CV and valid in both national and international contexts.
International Training Programme. The course is designed for an international cohort: English-language instruction, teaching methods, standards and bibliographic references are aligned with the best European training programmes.
A multidisciplinary teaching team of the highest calibre. Not a single point of view, but a multi-dimensional perspective:
Five professionals, five complementary areas of expertise, one integrated training programme.
