The Aesthetic Medicine Academy (AMA) is founded to train medical professionals wanting to join the aesthetic medical field. Co-founded and headed by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Nandy Wijay, AMA provides certification for medical physicians, nurses and practitioners in the art of aesthetics and BOTOX.

AMA’s trainings are a practical approach to learning the art of aesthetics, new emerging aesthetic technologies, and BOTOX through the use of online trainings with videos, texts, worksheets, and customer service responses. Medical professionals seeking to add additional revenue to their offices, while enhancing the lives of their patients can complete these trainings from the comfort of their homes.

The AMA trainings will provide medical professionals what they need to know on how to administer the procedures correctly, which places to appropriately use it in, and how to generate cash flow from these procedures. You will learn the up-to-date theories, techniques, and methods required to become a successful aesthetics professional. Along with the guidance from a board certified Plastic Surgeon.

With the rapid demand and gradual acceptance for aesthetic medical services such as cosmetic surgery, comes a demand for certified practitioners who possess the medical licensing, knowledge, training, and depth needed. AMA is committed to providing state of the art trainings to ensure medical professionals entering the medical aesthetics field are equipped with the information and skills.
