Course Overview
The Interactive Anatomy Program is a 1.5-day intensive cadaver lab experience designed for established aesthetic injectors looking to deepen their anatomical expertise. Held at the state-of-the-art AMI Orange County training center, this program offers a unique opportunity to explore facial anatomy through hands-on cadaver dissection and injection practice under the guidance of an MD anatomist. Participants will examine prepared cadaver specimens layer by layer, focusing on 3D structural relationships, age-related changes, and high-risk danger zones. The curriculum includes a rheology lab to compare JUVÉDERM® filler properties, along with guided cadaver injections to reinforce safe techniques. All products for the hands-on sessions are provided. This course is ideal for intermediate-to-advanced injectors proficient in neurotoxins and fillers who want to refine their understanding of vascular anatomy and complication prevention. Class size is limited to 48 participants for optimal learning. While no CME credits are offered, attendees receive a certificate of completion. No prerequisites or state licensure requirements apply, making this accessible to providers nationwide. The tuition includes all materials, PPE, and meals during sessions.
What to Expect
- Map high-risk danger zones in 3D by dissecting cadaver specimens layer-by-layer, visualizing vascular pathways and fat compartments most relevant to injectors - knowledge you'll use daily to avoid complications.
- Inject cadavers under MD anatomist guidance, practicing needle placement in complex areas like the forehead and nasolabial folds with real-time feedback on depth and technique.
- Compare JUVÉDERM® filler properties hands-on in a rheology lab, gaining tactile experience with product behavior that informs your clinical selections.
- Recognize age-related anatomical changes that impact treatment planning, learning to adapt techniques for different patient anatomies.
- Master vascular occlusion prevention through focused study of vessel pathways and embolism etiology - directly translating to safer practice.
